The Haliburton School of Art + Design, Algonquin Highlands and The Haliburton Highlands Green Burial Society have joined together to create a timber framed welcoming, contemplation and educational gazebo within the new green burial section at St. Stephens’s Cemetery.
The school’s week-long timber framing program, which has attracted 16 students from across a wide range of ages, runs from July 22-27.
Instruction, by Glen Diezel of Diezel Woodworks, will provide hands-on experience with timber framing techniques and the handcrafting of building components, as well as the skills needed to assemble the final 12’ by 12’ structure on site at St. Stephen’s July 27, society president Terry Moore said this week.
The section at St. Stephen’s, slated to open in the spring of 2025, will be the first year-round green/natural burial section within Haliburton County
