WildCrafting is Kaniksu Land Trust’s signature after-school program in which students work with their hands on a variety of diverse traditional crafts. It is grounded in the principle that working with our hands is a valuable skill that many have forgotten. The program seeks to provide students with a safe place to explore their creativity and reap the many benefits of handwork and the satisfaction of a project done well.
