Education

Through our immersive Piney Woods Resilience Fellowship (with generous support from the Southeastern Climate and Energy Network and Weyerhaeuser) and our volunteer program, participants gain hands-on experience in ecological land management, prescribed fire, permaculture, and self-reliance skills. Fellows train alongside experienced practitioners to integrate active land conservation with sustainable food and resource production that meets core human needs.

During our regularly scheduled Forest School, children discover the wonders of nature through immersive, hands-on experiences. Our curriculum is rooted in play-based learning and exploration, allowing kids to develop sensory awareness and forge meaningful connections with the natural world and each other. To learn more about forest school, click here: forest school at Burrow Nature Center
