EarthSkills instructor Alex Garcia, a U.S. Army veteran, will return with an expanded training schedule to augment last year’s introductory classes. Feb. 28 leads this year’s schedule with survival knife skills, basics of the number-one tool in wilderness survival. The cost for the class is $65 per student.
