A piece of property around 260 acres is going to auction soon. Was
originally set up for Y2K. We checked it out yesterday, has some
potential. Any interested in investing in this project please contact
me. We are a primitive skills group looking to set up different projects
on the land. We have an herbalist, a primitive skill specialist and
a animal husbandry person. We were behind the firefly gathering
over the summer.\

If you are willing to invest I can work on getting you a walk
on the land.

Hello

I'm in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina and still on Avalon. Do we have anything organized for North Carolina/South Carolina as far as safe places...etc?

[WiNaDeYo]

I am a WWC (Swannanoa, NC) '85 grad and in the recent newsletter saw this. Maybe someone here might be interested....

Just for your information:

William Schlesinger to speak on climate change

William H. Schlesinger, Ph.D., a biogeochemist who has been investigating the link between environmental chemistry and global climate change for more than 30 years, will give a free public lecture on campus Feb. 13. His talk, “Climate Change: Causes, Impacts and Solutions,” begins at 4 p.m. in the College Chapel.

Schlesinger, whose recent work has focused on the influence of trees and soil on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, will discuss the potential for humans to achieve sustainability amid population growth and increased resource use. Schlesinger was dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University for six years before becoming president of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, N.Y., in 2007. He is now the university’s James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of Biogeochemistry.

Schlesinger’s presentation is a prologue of sorts to the first Headwaters Gathering March 27-29 on the Warren Wilson campus. Jointly hosted by Warren Wilson, Orion Magazine and The Wilderness Society, the gathering focuses on climate-change issues and has a theme of “Southern Appalachia at the Crossroads: A Call to Action.”

Peace and Good Will!
