Join us at Lost Valley for an incredible opportunity to learn from Hazel Ward of Siskiyou Permaculture. Hazel is the author of Social Forestry, Tending the Land as people of Place, and originator of the Social Forestry framework. This workshop will be a hands-on, interactive introduction to tending forest ecosystems and cultivating place-based life ways that build cultural connection, ecological health, and skills for rewilding.

Hazel is a long time resident of the Southern Oregon/Mount Shasta bioregion first settling there in the early 70’s, and has been advising farms, stewarding forests, and teaching Environmental Sciences for more than fifty years. Their focus for this 21st century has been Social Forestry, restoring Oak/Pine Savannah in Little Wolf Gulch near Ruch, OR, demonstrating natural building, fuel hazard materials utilization, multiple products woods-crafting, wildlife support and desert forest water management.
