Offered by The STONE Trust April 30, May 1 and May 2, 2022
2022 Workshop Description
The long term goal of this partnership with The Stone Trust is to develop a repeatable vocational training program that can help young people develop skills in and assess their interest in dry stone walling as a career path.
There is no cost for our students as it will be covered by a donation from the Lanza Family Foundation, Manzer's Landscape Design & Development, Inc. and The Peekskill Rotary Foundation.
Objectives Include:
- Involving the local Rotary and interested community members in the training program.
- Constructing an example of high quality stonework on a public site to develop community awareness of dry stone walling and of an intended program to train local youth.
- Contribute to the cherry blossom weekend event.
- Advance the training of local masons.
- Educate the first tranche of local students.
