School of Ranch (www.schoolofranch.org) is looking for a skilled operator to teach a hands-on class for small ranch and farm owners on maintaining their gravel roads.
What the workshop covers:
Safe, beginner-friendly skid steer operation
Spreading and shaping gravel
Road basics: drainage, crowning, compacting
Simple maintenance techniques that save money and prevent washouts
Who we’re looking for:
You know your way around a skid steer (professional or farm/ranch experience)
You can explain things clearly to total beginners
You like the idea of teaching landowners how to do it themselves
No teaching background needed — we’ll support you with a facilitator
We provide:
The site, equipment, materials, and students
All marketing, ticketing, and logistics
A facilitator to help run the class
About Us:
School of Ranch is a Central Oregon nonprofit teaching ranch, farm, and homestead skills. We bring in skilled locals to share what they know — welding, irrigation, horse health, canning, and now skid steer/gravel road basics.
