Reflecting in Gratitude & Celebrating Community Abundance
As we bid farewell to 2025, we invite you to celebrate a year shaped by shared learning and a deep commitment to caring for the land.
Thank you for standing with us in this work. Together, we’re growing food, nurturing community, and igniting the collective spark to build a more resilient future. Your participation and support makes all the difference, and we can’t wait to see what next year brings.
Cheers to health, abundance, and a continued love for the land in 2026. We hope to see you soon at the Horn Farm Center!
“The Ecological Restoration Certificate was designed with the underdog in mind. Supporting courageous land stewards whose hearts beat for compassionate care, knowing intuitively (and scientifically) that toxic chemicals are not the path forward in restoration.
This learning container provides a place to explore language, tools, and techniques that will further empower you to take action with professional confidence.
It is encouraging to witness the community that naturally develops in this space, giving you the added benefit of allies that will help bolster your work in your neighborhood, community preserve, or place of work.” – Elyse Jurgen, Waxwing EcoWorks
Learning to Heal the Places We Love
The land is asking for our care. Are you ready to answer the call? The Ecological Restoration Certificate training program is a three-day, hands-on learning experience rooted in compassionate care for the land. Together, we’ll learn regenerative, human-powered techniques that support ecological healing while honoring the wisdom of natural systems.
Whether you are just beginning or have years of experience, this program offers space to slow down, listen, and build confidence in skills that truly matter. What you learn can be carried into your home landscape, your work, and your community—where small, thoughtful actions can create lasting change.
Join us for the 2026 Ecological Restoration Certificate training program, held on January 10th, January 24th and February 7th at the Horn Farm Center.

Tis the Season for Red Osier
Next time you’re near a wetland, or strolling through a holiday-lit town square, keep an eye out for the bold red stems of red osier dogwood. Winter is when this native plant truly shines.
Watch the video linked above to learn more about this attractive local plant! Horn Farm Center staff educator Andrew Leahy shares how red osier can support local ecosystems and add beauty to our landscapes.
There’s so much to learn even in winter, which is why we’re welcoming the new year with our Winter Webinar Series. From forest gardens to live stakes, join us online to explore regenerative land practices that help us create positive change.
