October
October 17th through 19th Great Lakes Bioneers Conference at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. Lots more information at the Great Lakes Bioneers Conference site. Bioneers was conceived to conduct programs in the conservation of biological and cultural diversity, traditional farming practices, and environmental restoration. Our vision of environment encompasses the natural landscape, cultivated landscape, biodiversity, cultural diversity, watersheds, community economics, and spirituality. Bioneers seeks to unite nature, culture and spirit in an Earth-honoring vision, and create economic models founded in social justice.
What's Next?
Aside from working on an exciting art collaboration with the Jordan River Arts Council, we'll be taking a short break over the winter for planning and design on the ISLAND property, and for determining what educational projects are worth the investment of our time and energy. If you'd like to help influence that decision, please take our short survey!
