Britta Anderson

Britta, she/they, is a naturalist, builder, and artist currently living in Minneapolis. Her journey began as a youngster exploring the woods behind her house and playing in the oak savannas and bluffs in the St Croix River valley in Minnesota. Britta is a student of natural building and has worked in home remodeling and construction for five plus years. She enjoys sharing her knowledge of tools and building with folks traditionally left out of those trades. Britta has a BFA from the University of Minnesota focusing on printmaking. Over the past eight years she has been diving deep into local ecology, wildlife tracking, bird interpretation and a variety of bushcraft skills. While living in Guelph, Ontario she spent time working with the Guelph Outdoor School and learning the Eight Shields education model for teaching and building nature connection. She loves to gather together with friends to take part in the seasonal bounties of each year, setting up camp to tap maple trees in spring and wild rice in the fall. She believes building relationships with the land, plants, and animals is critical for developing ourselves as empathic caring individuals. Her goal is to make those connections accessible and inclusive for all.
