Explore the fascinating world of sustainable construction with a hands-on field trip to learn how a hempcrete house is built! This educational experience combines environmental science, innovative building techniques, and practical demonstrations to showcase how hemp can revolutionize the way we create homes.
Understand the unique properties of hempcrete, a natural building material made from hemp, lime, and water. Learn why it’s valued and creates a healthy house.
Discover how the material is packed into molds and how it works with timber framing.
Learn about hempcrete’s environmental benefits, including its ability to capture carbon dioxide, regulate indoor humidity, and reduce energy costs.
See how hempcrete integrates with other natural materials to create energy-efficient and eco-friendly homes.
We will have another opportunity for children that are old enough and interested, to participate in building a hempcrete playhouse.
