Description
Hunter-Gatherer skills are the heart of the Green University® LLC program. Join us in the fall and Paddle Back in Time on the Jefferson River to get your feet wet with basic wilderness survival skills such as bow and drill fire-starting, cordage-making, grass ropes, canoeing, and camping.
Through our Deer Processing Intensive and Fall Harvest Celebration, learn how to skin and butcher deer, tan hides, and make fashionable clothing to wear uptown, downtown, or out of town. Learn how to provide for yourself, from eating wild plants to foraging fruit from feral trees, and scavenging leftovers from the industrial waste stream. Learn the fundamentals of botany and how to recognize the potential properties and uses of a new plant long before you know its precise identification. Learn to use your hands to craft and create tools, equipment, containers, and hunting weapons. Acquire the skills to think and innovate for yourself.
Follow your passions and develop your primitive wilderness survival skills among a tribe of like-minded individuals. Learn to start fire-by-friction, harvest and process wild foods, and weave willow baskets. Help out as an assistant instructor, sharing survival and nature awareness skills with kids from our local public schools.
Every year is different, based in part, on the interests that students bring to the school. Whatever your interests are, we will coach you to the best of our abilities or steer you towards the resources you need.
