Help In the Pines get our dream property !!
In the Pines is looking to acquire our own property, so we can expand our program. We plan to protect this land and build our infrastructure sustainably with minimal impact and to keep the integrity of the land in place. We are interested in 1+ acres of land in Summit or Wasatch County, to facilitate the following:
Forest School
· Outdoor preschool program offering half and full day options, year-round.
· Spring and fall preschool programs.
· A yurt space to use as our indoor classroom.
Farm
· Vegetable and flower beds, to teach children about gardening, the plant life cycle and to feed them healthy foods that they have helped to grow.
· Composting area, which will help us to be more sustainable and allow children to learn about the importance of composting and soil health.
· Beehives and a chicken coop, to provide fresh honey and eggs and opportunities for the children to practice responsibility and nurturance.
Community Event Space
· Space to hold community gatherings including: farm to table dinners, seasonal celebrations, forest school family events and a farm stand.
· Area for adult education and workshops including: gardening, tea making, flower arrangements, arts and crafts, honey harvesting, yoga and music.
Camps
· Nature-based youth camps for children of all ages, during holiday breaks and summer.
If you know of any leads, please send them our way. Thank you.
