Adult Earth Skills Series Fall 2025
Description
Fall is a time for celebrating abundance and preparing for winter. Join us as the season changes and learn what it takes to provide shelter, water, fire, and food in the wild Autumn woods. Then put your skills to use preparing a foraged feast for our optional overnight camp out on November 8-9.

In this session we will gather and store high calorie Fall foods, learn fire skills including cooking and matchless fire, and build a shelter that can keep us warm and dry through the coldest winter storms. We will explore traditional hunting skills and tools, and participants will have the option to learn about animal processing and hide tanning. Carving, making cordage from natural fibers, and coal burning wooden containers will help build our traditional tool kit along the way.

There is nothing like the confidence that comes from providing your basic needs from the natural landscape around you. Come with us as we deepen our relationship to a life lived a little wilder.

Our Basecamp and main teaching location will be 4-H Acres, 418 Lower Creek Rd Ithaca. Other locations for foraging to be announced. A pre-program email will give details of where we will meet and what to bring.
