Dear EcoWiki Community,
Remember to come join the fun with the Village Building Convergence (VBC) as it comes to PSU for the first time. There will be two projects on campus, one is a Hearth Hub, and will be built between Smith Student Memorial Union and Neuberger Hall. The second project is a PSU Peace on Earthbench which will be built in the PSU orchard adjacent to the campus community garden.
Tons of interesting opportunities for volunteering, getting dirty, meeting like minded sustainability focused people, and learning about natural building techniques will be available. These events will take place between May 23rd and June 2nd. Check out the schedule, inspirations, and resources HERE.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for reading!
