Ecological Training Programs

In partnership with Waxwing EcoWorks and Reviving Wisdom, The Horn Farm Center for Agricultural Education will conduct a new, three-day Ecological Restoration Certificate program ($495) on December 14, January 11 and January 25, 2025, focused on stewardship. It provides a comprehensive, hands-on learning experience in restoring degraded ecosystems and creating healthy, resilient habitat for wildlife at scale.

 

Active or aspiring landscape practitioners, local conservation volunteers and landowners will benefit from this deep-dive experience that covers skills in the field. Register at HornFarmCenter.org/eco-restoration-cert.

 

The fourth annual 16-week Ecological Gardener Training program ($1,390) begins February 9, 2025. Participants will study native plants, local ecology and regional landscape patterns to inform the design, creation and stewardship of biodiverse native habitat gardens. From active and aspiring landscape professionals to homeowners, teachers and students, anyone interested in learning how to design and nurture beautiful, ecological gardens is encouraged to join this program.

 

Beyond building a practical basis for ecological gardening, participants leave the program with a deepened sense of place and connection with local landscapes. Apply at HornFarmCenter.org/ecological-gardener-training.
