Support us to provide free and accessible education to our bioregion

At Lost Valley Education Center, we believe that building a resilient, sustainable future starts in our own backyard. Our farm-to-table silent auction dinner isn’t just a celebration of local food; it’s a vital opportunity to support the education that empowers our community to meet the challenges of climate change head-on. As a center dedicated to teaching permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable living practices, we are equipping our neighbors with the tools they need to adapt, thrive, and take action in the face of environmental challenges. By supporting our work, you’re helping create an inclusive, accessible learning environment where individuals from all walks of life can gain the skills to grow food, build intentional communities, and respond with resilience to the climate crisis. Your contribution at this event ensures that education—on which the future of our planet depends—remains open to everyone in our region. Together, we can cultivate the kind of change we need—at the local level, for the global good.

Funds raised will go directly toward rebuilding our bridge — a vital piece of infrastructure that connects our community, our land, and our future. After collapsing during the January 2024 ice storm, we temporarily restored the bridge using salvaged materials to host last summer’s Conscious Growth Convergence. But with rising water levels, that bridge was recently destroyed and nearly washed away.

Now, we are committed to building a new, resilient bridge designed to last for generations. This bridge will support the daily lives of those who live here and welcome guests to the transformative events and learning experiences we host throughout the year.

Our total fundraising goal this year is $100,000, which will allow us to build a structurally sound, flood-resilient bridge that serves our community for decades to come. Your support will help create a safer, stronger, and more accessible path forward — one that honors our shared commitment to sustainability, resilience, and connection.
