Our financial aid philosophy is take what you need and give what you can. We recognize that there are economic hardships, and we want to be accessible to all, so we ask that you pay whatever it is that you can.
The more you can pay, the more children we are able to extend aid to. Before you request financial aid we ask families to consider if there are family members or friends who might help provide a scholarship to your family for this program.
While nobody has ever been turned away for lack of funds, our ability to accommodate financial aid requests rests on the strength of our program enrollment and the generosity of the individuals, businesses and foundations that partner with Wild Earth to make financial aid possible.
We're in this together! Many of us are stretching ourselves to make sure that cost doesn't get in the way of anyone playing, exploring and learning in nature.
Requests for financial aid are processed alongside your registration. This enables you to reserve a space in the program while our team is reviewing aid requests. Register now and reserve your space in Willow Basketry today.

Come learn and engage with the traditional craft of willow basketry, guided by basket and coffin weaver Mary Fraser.
Note: Depending on each participant’s weaving pace, additional work outside of program hours could be needed to complete the basket. If you anticipate working at a gentler pace, consider leaving your evening flexible as the willow must be worked before it dries out. Participants will go home with a basket they made with their own hands as well as the learning and inspiration to create many more.
Accessibility: Moderate hand strength required, participants may be sitting outdoors in 60-degree weather.
Mary Lauren Fraser is a basket and coffin weaver based in the unceded southernmost Abenaki lands, now western Massachusetts. She weaves with willow grown on small scale organic willow farms and some from her own patch. Mary apprenticed to Karen Collins in northern Scotland in 2014 and has since been offering coffins, baskets and basketry classes throughout New England since 2015.
