The Alderleaf Campus
The Alderleaf 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, 30 minutes northeast of Seattle. Our 15 acre property is an evolving model of environmental sustainability. Most of our
courses
take place on site.

The forested portion of our land contains giant mossy cedar and hemlock trees, a large cascading creek, a diversity of wildlife, and several wetlands. It is adjacent to thousands of acres of forest lands with many lakes, streams, and mountains. We're fortunate to have the Cascade Mountain foothills in our backyard.
The Alderleaf land 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, and fruit trees.
Residents include interns, instructors, and students in the
Wilderness Certification Program
as well as others interested in being involved with Alderleaf Farm. Residents share a passion for nature, sustainability and community, and often enjoy the opportunity to grow organic food and steward the land.
