The Alderleaf Campus

The Alderleaf Wilderness College campus is nestled in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. It is located above the Skykomish River valley between the towns of Sultan and Monroe, Washington, about 30 miles northeast of Seattle. Our 15 acres of property is an evolving model of environmental sustainability. Most of our courses take place on site.

Watch this virtual tour of the Alderleaf Campus and/or scroll below for more details, a map, and information on our permaculture site plan.

The forested portion of our land contains giant mossy cedar and hemlock trees, a large cascading creek, a diversity of wildlife, numerous trails, tenting sites, and our outdoor classroom. It is adjacent to thousands of acres of forest lands with many lakes, streams, and mountains. We're fortunate to have the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in our backyard.

The Alderleaf land also houses our classrooms and office, as well as our small farm which is integrating permaculture principles. The farm includes two cabins, two houses, a large barn, beautiful pastures, ponds, garden space, chickens, sheep, and fruit trees.
