Facilities

Augusta, Maine

Our main campus consists of 23 acres of over-harvested but regenerating forest on which we have an outdoor classroom area, primitive village, indoor classroom facility, and many trails.  Our outdoor classroom area consists of a covered building which serves as wet weather classroom as well as giant tracking box.  There is also a fire pit, an outdoor tracking box, and a scout training area.  The primitive village, also known as the shelter field,  is made up of examples of primitive shelter- short and long term.  There is also a fire circle, hide tanning stations, and a throwing stick range.  Our indoor facility is in a converted two car garage.  Downstairs is our cold weather classroom which has simple cooking facilities and is heated with a woodstove.  Upstairs is a martial training room and an eight person capacity dorm room.  The bathroom is a Humanure composting outhouse located past the outdoor classroom area.  There are no shower or sink facilities.  Water is always available in coolers or from an outside spigot.  Please remember this is a primitive skills school.  Our intent is to be outside as much as possible and though comfort is a concern it is not the priority.

 

 

Broad-Winged Farm

Broad-Winged Farm is 6 acres of a developing PermaCulture Farm and caretaken woodland. There are primitive camp facilities such as a wigwam, fire pit, flintknapping pit, hide tanning stations, tracking box, throwing stick, and archery range. Here at Broad-Winged Farm we are trying to bridge the gap between the modern world and primitive skills by concentrating on bringing wild and cultivated foods into our everyday lifestyles.

 

 

Three Red Trees School of Natural living in Northfield, Connecticut

Located in the northwest hills of Connecticut, our Northfield campus is owned by Andy Dobos' family and consists of a two acre field and a separate 23 acre woodland adjacent to 100 acres of state protected land. The woodland site is within a short hike of the field and harbors a lean-too style cabin as well as a lookout tower. Together the two sites provide a variety of ecologies including small streams, vernal pools, an old field and plenty of wooded uplands.
