Join us for an energy tour of the home, a mini workshop in our community ’Mandala’ edible garden, a guided trail walk on the newly opened Armstrong ‘loop’ which connects the Armstrong Preserve to its neighboring Richards Preserve, find out why you should “leave leaves alone†from a special guest, live entertainment featuring The Catch, a local high school rock and roll band, with power supplied by the sun, (of course!), refreshments and fun for the kids.
The Armstrong Education Center is open to the public by invitation and appointment. It’s 43-acre preserve is home to PRLC’s outdoor classrooms and innovative programming for living lighter on the land with the goal of becoming stewards of the natural places we call home.
