About This Organization

1913811_174140225999_4330116_nFrom their near 40 acre eco-campus on the Black Oak Savanna in Pembroke, Illinois, Black Oaks Center is hard at work in the implementation of their four skills building tracts. The Sustainable Building Tract prioritizes the rebuilding, repair and creating of equipment and tools central to a low carbon life. The Renewable Energy Tract fosters low to no fossil fuel use through energy conservation and diversification with renewable energies such as solar, wind and bio-fuels. The Resilience Tract is dedicated to personal, interpersonal and planetary transformation to transition into a low carbon life. Lastly, The Sustainable Agriculture Tract focuses on saving non-GMO and organic seeds, growing food organically with density and extended seasons. The latter tract’s priority on building a local food security system has birthed the Healthy Food Hub CSA.
