As Jobs and credit dwindle, and global temperatures rise, it is more
important than ever to learn to meet our needs closer to home, without
dependency on the fossil fuel economy. Come learn valuable knowledge
from local experts and help build the community that will keep us alive
and thriving!
Learn about:
* landscaping for food security
* soil building
* seed saving
* herbalism for swine flu
* community organizing
* local initiatives to build a new economy
and much more.
Sliding scale donation of $30-$60 covers all three days. Includes meals
and cooperative childcare opportunity. Work-trades and scholarships
available.
