Program accomplishments
- In 2025 the Heathcote Care Farm and Education Center (HEC) offered 11 educational events serving a total of 72 participants. HEC's main educational program was a series of 7 Community Days attended by 30 people featuring hands-on learning projects, a potluck, a community tour, and a visit to the Black Locust Hops Farm Brewery next door to Heathcote. HEC hosted 1 Rain Barrel workshop facilitated by the Gunpowder Valley Conservancy for 6 participants and a tour of the property for 7 farmers who had attended the BIPOC Farmer's Conference. In addition, HEC was a co-sponsor with the Chesapeake Education Arts and Research Society (CHEARS) of a North American Analog Forestry Certification course and internship program facilitated by the International Analog Forestry Network (IAFN.) It consisted of 8 online classes and an internship for hands-on experience at one of four analog forestry host sites for 21 participants. Three participants did their internship at Heathcote.

- School of Living's Community Land Trust (CLT) involves 6 parcels of land in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Each parcel supports a residential community that involves a living and learning center, demonstrating and teaching cooperative community living, ecology and conservation, sustainable development, and natural living. In 2025, we continued to work on developing a new lease for our Amherst County, Virginia parcel. Our intention has been to lease this parcel to Stellar Roots, a collective of Black, Brown, and Indigenous People, rooted in healing and in service of land based community living. We also followed up on supporting our other parcels in the Land Trust; helping to solve disputes among parties and updating legal documents. Another focus of School of Living's CLT is public outreach and follow-up with outside inquiries to our CLT.Expenses $6,254 · revenue $11,679
