Learning from the Land will be building their own design of compost loo for the Woodland Play Centre in Crowcombe and you are invited to join us to observe, learn, question and have a go, where appropriate. This loo is a design that is suitable for use in a garden, agricultural setting, outside workplace or allotment (if allowed).

Learning from the Land is partnering with local tradesmen to help deliver more affordable skills. We are undertaking jobs in specific areas of knowledge and then allowing people to come and train onsite with us.

Learning From The Land is a social enterprise part funded by Local Action For Rural Communitites (LARC) to develop, design and pilot a set of sustainable living courses that will bring together traditional skills and innovative new techniques.

It is dedicated to using local and traditional skills to “demystify the expert” and empower people to have a go themselves, whether it be building with cob, straw or timber; using permaculture; installing renewable energy technologies; building your own pizza oven or learning about compost loos!
 
We are aiming to build a high quality organisation that is part of our local community, so please let us know if you have a course you would like to run, as we might be able to host it for you in a safe, professional environment – give us a call today.
