What a busy summer it has been! It’s been so much so that we’ve completely
neglected to keep our blog up to date, so we have plenty to share.


And of course, we’ve been had student enrollment on our
minds as all of this work has been in preparation for a house full of enthusiastic
program participants for this fall season.
We are so pleased to have a keen group of students for the fall
semester! We’re also excited to share
that we’ve hired on a fabulous team to work with them in the garden and out in
the wilderness. Jackie brings tremendous
experience and energy to the Pioneer Project as Wilderness and Homestead
Educator and Director of Operations. Kate
is a returnee to Lane’s End who knows the community well and brings a wealth of
garden experience and joy to share as Garden and Homestead Educator. Adam and Allison will continue to be involved
with the program as Director of Leadership and Director of Homesteading and
Craft, as Adam will join Jackie on the wilderness trips while Allison teaches
many of the craft workshops. These workshops
will also be taught by our talented guest instructors, whose fascinating biographies are up on
the website. Please visit
pioneerproject.org/#!guest-instructors/c110u to learn more about them.
And with all those things going on, we’ve made it to September. What an exciting time! The students have arrived and are already on their first expedition, getting better acquainted with each other and the natural beauty that surrounds them as they backpack through the old growth trees of Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest.
