Together on the Land: Options for Ecological Living in Community
| Join us for a tour of ecological living options in Franklin County. We'll visit homes and farms that have tested different models for community living, such as community land trusts, coops, cohousing, and more. Meet other people interested in ecological living and see new places! | |

Throughout the Pioneer Valley there are numerous models for how to create communities that balance affordability, ecology and community connections. No one model has all the answers – but they all offer tremendous insights and for some, may be the answer you were looking for today.
The goal of this tour is to connect people with organizations and individuals working towards sustainable community living, offer real-world examples of community models, and explain basic information about how they work. We hope you can come! What to Expect: This is a day long (9am-5pm) multi-site guided tour. Participants will meet at Greenfields Market at 9am for a short discussion to start the day. Participants will then travel by van for a guided tour of five examples of community/ecological living in Franklin County. Participants should bring their own lunch. Your ticket will help to pay for the cost of renting the vans, advertising for the tour and the time of sponsoring organizations to organize this event. This is our second annual Together on the Land Tour. You can read about last year's tour here. The 2010 tour will include three of the same stops on the 2009 tour, and two new stops.
