Straw Building volunteer opportunities

Straw, a natural and renewable resource, has been used for centuries as a building material. Its lightweight nature, insulating properties, and ease of use make it a favourite for constructing eco-friendly homes, walls, ovens, and even furniture. Beyond its practical benefits, working with straw can be an artistic journey. It’s a chance to craft and shape, turning simple straw bales into intricate designs and sturdy structures.
