We are building a 75 ft. Hight Tunnel out of -TRAMPOLINES! We’ve collected multiple trampolines that were damaged in storms and are repurposing them into our new High Tunnel for our Sustainable Education Farm in Kernersville. This new space will be vital for winter growing, season extension, and for starting new seeds. Our interns will then be able to learn about growing in this new space. Our Trampoline High Tunnel will give us new space to hold winter classes in too.Other volunteer work for the day includes weeding, tarping areas, mulching beds, planting, and moving materials. This is a 4 acre Sustainable Education Farm so there is plenty of space for social distancing. All work is outside in fresh air. Projects for any skill level.
