Lost Valley Education Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to educate youth and adults in the practical application of sustainable living skills. We achieve this by offering education in ecological design, restoration forestry, equitable community governance, and regenerative farming, while we steward this land for future generations. Guided by our Land Stewardship Plan, we consciously tend these 87 acres of diverse forest ecosystems for oak savanna restoration, increased wildlife habitat, biodiversity, and old growth forest characteristics.
