DAVID RUBIN Land Collective - Overlook Field School

The Working Forest
Work from Overlook Field School’s Summer 2023 Cohort

“Work is labor, production, function, and practice. How can a forest work to benefit its inhabitants, its human associates, and its future? The focus of the field school’s work will be the hardwood forest on the Fullers Overlook property. We will seek ways the forest can be productive for itself as well as for the people who steward it. We will do this work through field work, drawing, building in the forest, and ultimately designing. The field school will culminate in an exhibit of design work and proposals for the future of Overlook’s now devastated hardwood forest (a result of an infestation of Emerald Ash Borer)”.
