Descrição
My name is Valerie. I began homesteading in a forest in 1981. I’m a citizen and active member of Ko’asek Abenaki nation; director of The Sustainability Project; a super host with Airbnb and an active grandmother to two boys, ages 1 and 4. I’m certified in Permaculture design and completed a weeklong program to teach Permaculture.
The Sustainability Project recently began construction of a 1200 square-foot structure to host a nature inspired activities and community leadership programs. The building will also hold an extensive collection of clay heads by the late artist, Susan O’Hara and host overnight stays. There will be opportunities for Workaway volunteers to help with the building process, work on trails and landscaping, including a large scale Hügelkulture project,
The Sustainability Project founded in March 2000, promotes a love of nature, environmental stewardship, caring communities and ways of living, that deepen our understanding of the interconnected web of life. Our guiding principles embrace indigenous wisdom, diversity, inclusion, compassion and creative expression as fundamental to the long-term wellbeing of our planet and its inhabitants.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Our efforts in the forest reflect the work of a larger network of community organizations collaborating on behalf of the planet. Together, in the spirit of cooperation, we nurture and promote ways of living in tune with nature. What a volunteer learns will be determined by their expressed learning goals, which we will incorporate into our program planning.
