April Meetup(s)

E-mail Print PDF

Hello all,  

This weekend's earth day event at Cornell Cooperative Ext was fantastic! The weather wasn't that great but we still had great attendance to the event. Rochester Green Living was there to show the crowds how to build a cordwood test wall.  I will be posting the pics of the event tonight and as you will see the youngest attendees really got into the building! A big thank you to Broccolo Tree & Lawncare for putting on such a great event. The 2nd April Meetup will be this Saturday at Hamlin Beach....I will be paired up with Dave Vail for a power duo of natural building; Strawbale & Cordwood...Hope to see you all there!

Cheers,

Peter
