Through their educational program, students encounter and begin to form a relationship with the earth’s life, as expressed by the many different plants and animals that constitute the farm, and to afford them an opportunity to develop hands-on skills that give them a sense of the meaning of practical, productive work.

Women's Tracking Conference
Point Reyes National Seashore (Due to government shut down, this program might not operate as scheduled. Please contact them)
A gathering of women trackers, biologists, herbalists & artists. Come explore a detailed and broad perspective of tracking through animals, trailing, landscapes, watersheds, flora, dance, and art.
Beginning Friday evening and running through midday Monday, dynamic speakers will offer multiple classes and workshops simultaneously. This conference style format allows participants to design their days to best suit their interests.
Given the beautiful weather of California in October, most classes will be taught outdoors, although different formats will reflect the diverse teaching style of our presenters. Field classes, indoor lectures, and experiential workshops characterize each day.
Early morning yoga and bird watching will be offered and evening sessions will meet after dinner. Be prepared for long full days of new information and stimulating conversation as well as relaxation.
We welcome participants of all skill levels to join. We have each been beginners and continue to be so as we are introduced to new concepts, patterns, and skill sets. Participants have as much to offer as presenters.
LOCATION: Clem Miller Environmental Education Center sits in the heart of Point Reyes National Sea Shore, located in secluded Hidden Valley just two miles from the expansive white sands of Limantour Beach. The National Seashore encompasses over 70,000 acres of open space and woodlands with 30 miles of protected coastline along the shores of the Pacific Ocean and Tomales Bay. Surrounding habitats offer exploration of oak woodlands, coastal chaparral and grasslands, riparian corridors, sand dunes, estuaries, tide pools, and beaches
ACCOMMODATIONS: Participants will lodge in one of 4 pine cabins that are equipped with comfy bunk beds. A central bathroom facility houses toilets, basins and hot water showers. The main gathering cedar lodge is complete with wood stove, dining hall, science library, natural history center , and fully equipped kitchen. Laundry facilities are available.
MEALS: Organic and local foods provide the ingredients for the vegetarian and vegan options served each day provided by dedicated chefs hired specifically for the purpose of providing nutritious and delicious meals for our gathering. Please notify us if you have any special meal needs and we will do our best to accommodate you.
