“Families Learning Together” is our annual Spring fundraiser to promote sustainable and natural living through the teaching of earth skills from a wide range of instructors. It is a wonderful opportunity to return to nature and connect with skilled artisans and teachers who will be demonstrating primitive skills and crafts, while enjoying mountain music, witnessing examples of historic building practices, and join in on demonstrations in food, blacksmithing, woodworking, knife making, plant foraging and identification and so much more. A special focus will be on kids with storytelling, flute music, drumming and nature crafts. Turtle Island Preserve was founded by Eustace Conway, celebrity star of the History channels “Mountain Man” tv series, who will be hosting a special behind the scenes tour of Turtle Island during the event.
