My Travel Story:

A few minutes down the road from the Ecology Center, I came across People Living Art, Community & Ecology (PLACE), which was also another recommendation by the EcoHouse volunteers.

“We are a public-serving, experiential learning center to showcase and foster sustainable living practices, urban homesteading, community resiliency & preparedness, social justice and artistic expression. Our goal is to incubate a local sustainability hub to allow people to see solutions in practice; to gain access to the knowledge and resources to empower them to take action in their own lives, neighborhoods, towns, cities and bio-regions. We hope to grow this green-center model into communities across the world in partnership with community centers, schools, park & recreation facilities and other local organizations.” – PLACE Webpage
