The organization operates a Sustainable Living Institute and a historic campus that hosts educational events, guided hikes, seasonal workshops, and youth camps. Programming includes expert-led experiences such as Nature's Bounty: Beginner Mushroom Foraging with mycology expert Anne Small and geology and nature hikes led by geologist Michael Porter and naturalist Joe Panci.
