The pandemic unfortunately put a halt to much of EVNJ’s activities, which at the time were regular potlucks and meetings. The excitement over a property in Towaco, NJ has revived our common energies around creating an Ecovillage in New Jersey. The regular meetings held by farmer Barbara Joy Hertz on Sunday nights throughout fall and winter of 2022 have attracted many curious people to learn more about the possibilities for her parcel and beyond.
We are encouraged by this momentum and eager to build together after a long pandemic hiatus. Due to changes in geographic location and personal priorities among the EVNJ founding members, there is now an opening for new leadership within the organization. Adam Salem of Eden Ecovillage and communities enthusiast Krystyna Soljan have stepped up as interim coordinators to help usher forward the work of EVNJ. We envision a group that supports both local projects to develop into ecovillages as well as promotes overall education and outreach about the idea of sustainable community living.
Please join us for this conversation!
