Dry Stone Projects
The Conservancy has conducted training and restoration projects for National Park Service personnel in 11 states and has provided advice and consultations in 27 other states. We have contributed expertise to projects in architecture, engineering, conservation, preservation, history, geography, job development, and tourism.
The
Dry Stone Conservancy is
unparalleled in its advocacy
for drystone 
preservation,
for conducting drystone masonry
workshops in Kentucky’s
vernacular styles, for promoting
the authentic restoration
of America's historic drystone
structures and for its training
workshops and restoration
project experience nationwide.
