Come master the art of sustainable forestry
In March we’ll be running an intense 4-day forestry workshop. Come join us in sunny Costa Rica for this unique opportunity to acquire invaluable and well rounded experience in the fascinating world of sustainable forestry, logging, milling, forestation, and profitable woodlot management.
No matter where you live in the world, if you have chosen to live close to nature and off of the land, you will need to master the many crafts of sustainable forestry. Any community, farm, homestead, or organization which aims for independence, sustainability, and resilience outside of the money cycle needs to include forestry as a crucially essential part of their operation.
If you strive for harmony and sustainability, you’ll get innumerable benefits from doing your own forestry while at the same time fostering a well-rounded and positive impact.
So don’t miss out on this unique opportunity! Head over to the forestry workshop page for all the info and to register online.

Our new Timber framed nursery/green-house was the first natural building project of the fall internship. All using wood we harvested and milled ourselves from fallen trees in RDS unique private wildlife refuge, and brought to the site through our jungle trails by men and horses. The structure is a true Timber Frame entirely built without a single nail, screw, or anything but beautiful wood and good geometry.
