Treehouse Trade School Culture

  • Inspire each other to thrive in harmony with God’s creation

  • Trades are any skill or mastery needed to develop resilient community

  • Resilience is the ability to bounce back after disaster or suffering

  • The ability to sustain oneself while elevating our health and wellness

  • A community of people working together where everyone has a specialization

"Scott has a world of knowledge that he is eager to share with everyone. His knowledge of plant life, landscaping, life cycles and ecology can be witnessed just by walking through the Treehouse facility. My wife and I recommend him highly."

Treehouse Trade School Logo

  • Tree Scout logo represents seven layers of sustainability as roots

  • The taproot is self-development and health/wellness, the foundation for learning and teamwork

  • Other layers: community, energy, economy, governance, build, sustenance, and ecology

  • Focus on personal healing and mindset work through meditation, forgiveness, reiki, or coaching before skill training

I feel like being an instructor and a member EMPOWERS me to be more of a resilient and talented person, which has increased my value and confidence that I feel that there’s not much I can’t do in life! I strongly recommend to anyone reading this to try and see for themselves what changes it makes in your life…

The Magic Formula

  • Goal: create a “Magic Formula” curriculum to master all trades for resilient communities

  • A to Z All things necessary for each task.

  • Platform will include lessons on what can go wrong and how to fix it

  • Seeks skilled tradespeople and creative thinkers to contribute

  • Emphasizes lifelong learning and open-minded collaboration across trades

What I love most is the way our community blurs the line between teacher and student. We’re all building resilience together, sharing what we know, trying new things, and asking better questions. Watching people grow more confident in their abilities—and realizing I’m growing right alongside them—has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

Treehouse isn’t just a place to teach. It’s a place to learn, to contribute, and to be part of something that actually matters.

"Despite having only recently joined the Seneca Treehouse Project, I have already found so many ways to benefit from being a Tree Scout. Having access to all the online classes would already make my involvement totally worth it, but I am quickly learning that is only the tip of the iceberg. The in-person permaculture course starting soon is exactly what I have been looking for since moving to SC 4 years ago. However, as valuable as this cornucopia of seemingly endless access to a huge variety of courses & information is, all that is dwarfed by the incredible synergistic energy that is so prevalent among the treehouse Community. Scott & the TTS team are so obviously driven by a deep passion to bring together like minded, truly caring folks to create positive change in the world that I am honored to be part of this project and to be able to already call these folks my friends."
