solar: RIFF on a Forestry Report- TOPOGRAPHY : Asheville Eco-Community (series) It's SOLAR! - 04/30/08 08:59 AM
TOPOGRAPHY : Asheville Eco-Community (series # 2) This is FUN! Topography- I love to read topos, do you? There is mystery and adventure in each one! I think it's exciting to get a visual of how the LAND lies. Today, continuing with musings on the Forestry Report (see RIFF on a Forestry Report-SOILS : Asheville Eco-Community (series) ) as part of the research we do before listing any acreage, I'm excited. In this case it's because I'm reviewing topos on an amazing eco-development. I'm ready to give some serious thought to the section on Topography in the Forestry Report.

Not far from the cultural hub of Asheville, North Carolina yet surrounded by forever-wild mountain forests, soaring cliffs, cascading streams , and stuff of which dreams of Home are made is the doorway to possibility in the form of an eco-community that thrives on nature.

solar: This Eco-Community = Eco-Innovation as an Exciting Model. Asheville, NC - 04/13/08 08:16 AM
I am excited about eco-innovation. Especially when eco-innovation in the form of a model for eco-community comes to my home town, Asheville, N.C. That's right. Big News. The very first eco-development in the country to combine wide-ranging land conservation with an eco-friendly community of solar-heated and solar-powered " green-built" homes, has done just that.
