Heartwood is the core of our nature-connection curriculum, the trunk from which our other programs branch out.   Heartwood has been carefully crafted since 2011 to provide a progressive learning journey and comprehensive foundation in deeply relating to the natural world.  Through games, stories and exploration children learn:

 

Outdoor Safety and Awareness   •   Animal Tracking   •   Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants

Wilderness Survival Skills   •   Bird Language   •   Ancient Crafts

Ecology   •   Community   •   Self-Discovery, and much more

 

Heartwood: Saplings

Ages 9-12

Heartwood is divided into three distinct groups:  the Acorns, Saplings, and Oaks.  The Saplings group is the next stage of progression from an Acorn to an Oak.  As your children grow and mature in their nature-connection journey the Saplings group will present them with a deepening inquiry and increased challenge(followed by the Oaks).
