About Wellspring Forest Farm & School

 

Our farm and the surrounding woodlands serve as a living classroom to connect students to the forested landscape. Our classes are experiential and hands-on, giving students real skills and knowledge and utilizing our farm and local old growth forests as teachers.

 

Past students often comment that our classes help them see the woods from a whole new perspective. We don't teach only skills, but how to better foster a long-term relationship with the forest.
