In October a group of us toured the property and started to brainstorm projects that could establish it as an environmental and cultural center promoting green lifeways.
At 3.5 acres it’s large enough that we could envision:
. community gardening
. drumming circles
. informal camping
. movie nights
. study groups
. mushroom farming
. musicales (around a campfire!)
. an ecological education center for children and others
In the long run perhaps an intentional community.
We’re considering sponsoring some “field trips” to visit existing ecovillages (suggestions: the Ecovillage at Ithaca (NY) and the Sirius Community in Shutesbury, MA).
In the wake of the pandemic, there’s much interest in overcoming the kind of isolation that’s endemic to our current society. People are looking for support, as well as ways to help each other live more lightly. Ecovillage Hillsborough has a land base and now will be working to mobilize the kind of resources that will enable us to realize our vision. Human resources are key! We invite you to participate.
I’m interested and would like to know more about this project and how I can get involved.
I would love to be involved and live in the community. I live in Hillsborough Nj. Please let me know how I can join.
Hi Brian! Did anyone get back to you yet?
I received a message on my phone but I accidently deleted it.
My family is interested.
Hi Amy! Did anyone reach out to you yet?
My husband John and I are residents of Ocean County NJ and we are very interested in finding out more about this project and ways we can get involved. I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm regards,
Janice
