Elk Rock Garden is thrilled to announce that we have been selected to host the University of Oregon’s Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School cohort this September!
Over the past 30 years, UO’s Preservation Field School program has taught hands-on preservation skills throughout our region. This year, participants will learn masonry, woodworking, landscape and window repair techniques from experts in the preservation field, while helping to restore our historic manor house and 10-acre landscape.
Preservation Field School is an inclusive learning opportunity, open to all. You do not need to be a student, have preservation experience, or be affiliated with the University of Oregon to apply to participate. Past participants have included students from the University of Oregon and other institutions, practicing professionals, and preservation enthusiasts. A variety of ages, skill levels, and backgrounds contributes to each session’s unique experience and programming.
Three one-week-long sessions are available beginning Aug 31, 2025. Spots are still available. To learn more, or to register, please visit the UO website at: https://archenvironment.uoregon.edu/2025-pacific-northwest-preservation-field-school
