Natural Building School expands again...
Returning for a 5th year in a row from June 29-August 14!

The Natural Building program has expanded yet again to 7 weeks of practical, hands-on training. Not only do you learn how to make your home green, you learn how to do it yourself!

Based at the Kimberley Campus of College of the Rockies, at the Natural Building School you are involved in several exciting projects while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Learn how to create buildings and living spaces that are attractive, natural, and sustainable. You can also choose to take the 5-day Straw Bale Building Workshop rather than the entire 7-week program.

The Natural Building program is just what you need in order to make improvements to your existing home or one that you plan to build. The best part is that you will have the skills to do it yourself!

Reserve your spot today by contacting the Kimberley Campus at 250-427-7116 (toll free at 1-877-489-2687 x3752) or email us!
