Tool Lending Library Plan

This tool lending library is being built on the permaculture demonstration site at Riverside Corona Resource Conservation District. We strive to use locally available resources, especially from the waste stream. It will house our tool lending library, a storage facility for ongoing projects and a social hub for our permaculture demonstration site.

A Gathering Place

We’re excited to begin hosting hands-on tool repair and maintenance classes here, and this little building will soon become the social heart of our permaculture demonstration site. It’s where we’ll gather to learn, collaborate, and build the skills our community needs. Our focus is simple and urgent: strengthening local food security, teaching practical ecological skills, and supporting real climate adaptation. Together, we’ll grow the resilience our community deserves.
