You will also leave with the number and approximate lengths for your custom yurt. Learn more about our workshops here.

A free volunteer led workshop focused on the forestry practice we use at Little Foot Yurts called copping. The sustainable forest technique is over 3000 years old and can provide a constant supply of raw materials when cut on a cycle. We have been harvesting poles in Paradise, NS for eight years preparing the healthy regrowth of red Maple coppice. We will gather together, potluck style and then head into the woods to load and lite a charcoal retort kiln. We will clear the coppice woodland using hand tools and prepare the freshly cut stumps to regrow, providing yurt poles for the future. Learn more about our workshops here.
