Sustainability School is located in Petrolia, CA in an area referred to as the Lost Coast. Travel magazines have called this area "too lovely to be believed, perhaps too beautiful to last." It has been recognized as the top "still wild" place in California. We are located on the Mattole River, just 4 miles from the Pacific Ocean and the start of the Lost Coast Trail, a 25-mile (40 km) section of beach protected by the King Range National Conservation Area, Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, and the Punta Gorda lighthouse.
Sustainability School is a new venture in skill sharing and sustainability education. We are currently accepting proposals for 2011 and 2012.
