Curious about our amazing instructor, Jenna Pollard? Check out this awesome video! https://lnkd.in/gBs73nxj This hands-on course is all about embracing the art of timber framing while creating a supportive and inclusive space for those identifying as FLINTA.

Dates: June 10-14, 2024 - 9am - 5pm each day FLINTA represents Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Nonbinary, Transgender, and Agender individuals, acknowledging and respecting often overlooked identities. It brings visibility, recognition, and respect to the spectrum of gender presentations, orientations, and identities. Hurry and secure your spot before they're all gone! Register now to join us for an unforgettable week of learning, building, and community.

Join us for our 2024 Workshop Series on April 24, from 7:30 - 9:30 am! Minnesota Master Naturalist Jeff Velline will share his newly found birding hobby and the magic he has discovered in his own back yard and beyond. During the Pandemic, starting with just one persistent chickadee, Jeff discovered his new passion for watching and photographing birds. That one chickadee led to hundreds of birds around the state of Minnesota and ultimately from coast to coast. Come learn fun and simple birding & amateur photography tips, and how everyday can be an Easter egg hunt for you too! No registration is necessary! See you there!
