Education is the foundational collaborative arena where Coldharbour Institute functions. By providing a place where people can teach and others can learn, Coldharbour Institute brings together various segments of the sustainability community to most effectively transfer knowledge and experience from one faction of the community to its neighbors, one generation to the next, one region of the world to another.
We offer community workshops, courses, film and speaker series all around gaining skills and knowledge in applicable sustainability.
Applied Sustainability means taking information we gain and applying it to our everyday.
Join us for a workshop or a film series to learn more about how you can become involved with making our community a thriving place.
From photography to brain-tanned buckskin, we offer many opportunities for community members to engage with their land,
their community, and learn new skills!

I feel the best and fastest way we can move the world forward towards greater sustainability is by providing educational opportunities to help people from all walks of life understand that we are not isolated beings separated from the natural systems that support us. Human beings are the beneficiaries of the services ecosystems provide. Education is the key to helping people understand their role in those systems and what we can do to protect them”.
