    "Alderleaf's instructors are a wonderful resource. We're so fortunate to have them in our area. I was able to create the tools for making fire, purifying water, even making a survival shelter. I came here thinking I would see experts demonstrate advanced skills in wild crafting. I never thought I personally would experience the kind of success I did; making fire for the first time is awe inspiring. Thank you!"
    - Course Participant
