Teach with us
We are looking for depth, not marketing.
Instructors with real field time
- Substantial, demonstrable experience in your area of instruction
- A teaching practice grounded in safety and sound judgment
- Honesty about the limits of your expertise
- Respect for the land and for the people learning on it
- Willingness to teach within a shared curriculum and standards
Guest Instructor: teach one or more courses per season within the Institute's curriculum and standards.
Lead Faculty: own a skill path or course sequence, shape its content and mentor other instructors.
Founding Faculty Partner: help define the Institute's philosophy, standards and progression from the beginning.
960 acres of conserved teaching ground, a developing field campus at Cow Camp, logistics and registration support, honoraria and travel support, and an organization that has run field programs here for more than a decade.
A shared philosophy, held plainly.
- Experience turns information into practical knowledge
- Skills are practiced under real field conditions
- Safety and judgment are inseparable from technique
- Knowledge of place matters
- Stewardship is part of capability
- Courses should be rigorous without becoming performative
- Participants progress through demonstrated practice rather than bravado
- Traditional knowledge must be presented accurately, respectfully and without unsupported cultural claims
