Are you looking to build up your skills in carpentry surrounded by other like-minded women and non-binary folks?
Wildlands Trust’s Stewardship & Volunteer Coordinator Rebecca Cushing and volunteer Lenna Matthews are co-leading a training in carpentry skills, organized specifically for women and non-binary individuals! The goal of this class is to break down barriers and increase participants comfort handling tools and using tools. Our hope is attendees will leave the class feeling confident to tackle projects at home (or even better, with a local non-profit!). We are welcoming participants to bring any handheld power tools from home they would like an introduction and training on!
