Tyler Lavenburg

Assistant Site Manager

Tyler (he/him) is a life-long student of many things. Over the past 15 years, he has been devoted to learning and teaching core skills of traditional living, from wild foods and basketry to hide tanning, bow-making, flint knapping, pottery, and most any other natural materials he can get his hands on. He is a maker at heart. 

While teaching and living these traditional skills, Tyler has worked as a carpenter and earth-scaper for many years. He has built barns, houses, remodels, historical building replications, and pretty much all things shelter. He really strives to offer these skills in service to the community, empowering more people to take shelter into their own hands.
