We built our 4 stall outhouse in the Fall of 2020 but haven’t been able to cob it…so now is the time to get it insulated, protected from the elements, and designed by all of us to create some beautiful art on the land.

This is an intensive workshop which is hands-on the entire duration of the day. We will be harvesting clay from our hillsides, adding sand and straw, and sealing the straw-filled pallets with a lathe wire and earthen plaster for longevity against fire, rain, rodents, and insects.

You will learn the basics of making cob (native clay, sand, manure, straw & water), earthen clay and lime plasters, stuccos, tadelakt, thermal mass, and cob history as we build.

Please come prepared to be standing, kneeling, and moving around a lot. Wear loose clothing that can get stained with our different colored clays. Community Lunch will be provided. Bring snacks, water bottles, sandals, boots, gloves, and any sculpting tools you may have at home (trowels, yogurt container lids, sponges, latex gloves).

FREE - (park charges $10 parking fee per car)

We will be meeting at Big Trees to explore the higher elevation plant communities to see how our relationship with bigger plants changes. Please bring a journal, writing utensil, water, snack, and shoes to hike in. Because this is a protected site, we’ll be teaching how to find harvestable goods that have fallen from trees and other flora, rather than from the living parts, as that is illegal in the state parks. Please call if you have any questions, hope to see you there!

As we steward Ron Brickman’s historical and heritage Apple Orchard in West Point right off of HWY 26, we will be needing community help to maintain the trees, grounds, and irrigation systems throughout the year.

So come join us if you’re interested in learning how to prune fruit trees, how to keep branches as scions to graft, and how a large orchard is maintained for community use!

The orchard is located on HWY 26 as you enter West Point on the right hand side - before the Town Hall and Church. The gates will be open on all Community Days with a sign so please come in. Bring gloves, pruners, loppers, ladders, rakes, and snacks for yourself. Water will be provided.

During this community cleanup day at 3ndless 3arth, we will be preparing different sites for the Fall Harvest Benefit Bazaar including clearing, raking and getting the space event ready!

Free - Potluck Meal

During our first Summit in July 2020 we discussed 3 important topics that are all interconnected and create a resilient community in the Sierra Foothills. We focused on Forest Restoration & Fire Prevention, Biodynamic Farming Practices, and Creating a Cooperative in the Foothills to support each other.

This meeting we will gather specifically to create a working cooperative model for the community to bring down our collective costs while providing goods and services to one another as efficiently and conveniently as possible.

We will begin by going over a rough draft framework of a working cooperative that Keith James, Eric Stalberg, and Hillary Solsbery have written that can be implemented in our community regardless of the product or service you are buying or selling.

We can work in groups to discuss how the framework keeps us accountable, protected, supported, and connected. At 5:30pm we will enjoy a potluck meal and talk casually with each other before cleaning up and leaving.
