Come spend time with likeminded people and hear permaculture and community-building stories from the West Coast! Jan Spencer, a permaculturalist from Eugene, Oregon, will present "Transforming Where We Live - Our Homes, Culture and Economy." Spencer sees a common denominator to virtually all the social/political/economic/environmental downward trends of our times.

Spencer has been transforming his own economy, culture, and quarter-acre suburban property for over 13 years. The grass and driveway are gone, there is edible landscaping all over, passive solar redesign, a 6,500 gallon rain water system, and much more. His presentation discusses suburban permaculture and highlights creative green projects between friends and neighbors where he lives in the River Road Neighborhood of Eugene. He will explain allies and assets in almost any community and include a look at other green initiatives in the Northwest. All for revitalizing civic culture for transforming homes, culture and economy.

There will be a half hour mix and mingle time before the presentation with community groups tabling.
