Thrive Community Service Day

1. A cobb (handmade mud bricks) pizza oven is in the middle of construction as a new addition to Pearlstone’s outdoor kitchen classroom. The oven is being constructed with environmentally friendly Indigenous Peoples’ methods using materials found on the land: mud, grasses, stones, and water. Volunteers will help make the bricks, which dry in the sun, and they will help in the construction of the actual oven with ready to use sun dried bricks. The project will be led by our wilderness and indigenous expert, Joe Murray. 

2. The pine forest classroom is also being constructed with environmentally friendly Indigenous Peoples’ methods using materials found on the land. The classroom will have seating, a campfire, windbreakers, and cover. 

Depending on the number of volunteers, we can work on these projects simultaneously. 

What is exciting about these classrooms is that they will be available for future generations and the perfect activity for any group to use. Build a connection with each other, the land and have a place to come back to Pearlstone again and again for learning and engagement in places you helped to build. 

Cost: $5/person includes pizza at the end to celebrate good work
