Cohousing & Ecovillage presents Keith Zaltzberg,
a leader in Permaculture education and planning, for
a talk on Sunday, March 8, from 2-4pm at Waterfall
Arts Center at 256 High Street in Belfast. The focus
of his presentation will be “What our world might
look like if we lived in close relationship with our
food, neighbors, and nature.”
Permaculture is a whole systems design perspective that can guide us to this kind of harmonious integration of ecology and community through thoughtful design. With real world examples from New England, this workshop will explore theory, strategies and techniques for integrating perennial polycultures, low maintenance food systems, animals, alternative energy, and waste systems into ecological communities for a more vital, beautiful and truly sustainable future.
Belfast Cohousing & Ecovillage community members will host a reception at 4 pm where the public can learn about the latest progress in the creation of Belfast’s family-friendly, environmentally-focused cohousing community. A $5 donation is appreciated (waived for young families).
