About us
This is a free group for adults that are looking for opportunities to learn new skills in a welcoming and inclusive environment. This group will focus on offering/hosting/sharing events related to nature and the outdoors and teaching hands-on skills. All are welcome!
This group is all about learning new skills in a welcoming and safe community! A few topics that are the focus of the upcoming event include biking/bike maintenance, food preservation/canning, yoga/meditation, and hiking. If there is a topic you want to learn more about, please share it with me and I can see if the Education Department at Osprey Wilds is able to provide a class for us!
Who should join this group: Any adult or group that is interested in learning more about the outdoor and looking to build their skills!
Any dues or fees you plan to charge members: No fees to be a member of this group, but some events will have fees to cover the cost.
This group is associated with Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center. We will be sharing their learning opportunities when appropriate, but we encourage group members to share ideas and topics for events.

Adult Learner Weekend - Sustainable Food Systems
Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center, 54165 Audubon Drive, Sandstone, MN, USAdult Learner Weekend - Sustainable Food Systems
This program looks at the food systems of society, and their environmental and economic impacts through land and water usage, production, transportation and distribution, and animal and human welfare/health. We will examine conventional agriculture and then focus on how we can move to sustainable food systems through local, organic, poly-culture and community shared models, and behavior changes individuals can make such as school and backyard gardening, food preserving, and supporting local farmer’s markets, co-ops and environmentally conscious restaurants. We will visit local farms, including Osprey Wilds’ very own Trapp Farm.
This is one of the environmental education courses we offer through Hamline University’s Graduate Professional Development Program (Continuing Studies). We do also make this course available on an audit basis (not-for-credit) for those interested.

- 2 nights of lakeside lodging
