Help build Jorgette a winter ready roundhouse with permaculture focused infrastructure.

Jorgette is moving into a 1/4 section of land with a few old trees and patch of brush. We are going to be building a reciprocating roof roundhouse what will be winter ready and a bit more permanent- with cob walls and a ranch slider.

We will be setting up infrastructure including compost toilet & solar shower that we will be building on thursday. Over the week we will also do a Permaculture design & build of water, solar, heating & growing systems.

Transition Hawke's Bay Steering Group

joduff — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:31:08 +0000

Transition Hawke's Bay Steering Group

The purpose of the steering group is to facilitate the formation of new sub groups in topic areas, and to facilitate the formation of new local area groups. At the moment the group represents interest from Hastings, Havelock North, Napier and some CHB locations. In the longer term we hope to devolve to local groups - Transition Hawke's Bay is really just holding the space for a Transition Haumoana, Hastings or other area to get established as that is a better community level to work at.
