Profile Information
- "How are you involved in preparing for the changes that peak oil, economic instabilty and climate change are bringing, and in creating resilience and sustainable life style in our communities?"
- I established and manage a nursery (East Hill Tree Farm) supplying edible and useful species appropriate to this region. I practice permaculture design and engage my community around working to increase food security, and enhanceing landscape integrity through planting edible and useful species, and teaching ecological design.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I am particularly excited about the opportunities to create more tightly knit communities through doing the work of creating lasting healthful infrastructure.
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?
- I can discuss it with those I meet and encourage others to own and engage it. I can help with landscape planning and design for ecological and locally based food production, as well as broader ecological land management.

- Hi Nicko,
Glad you could make it to the Brattleboro Green Drinks. It was good to meet you.
I just came across this event and thought I would forward it in case you hadn't seen it.
DATE 2/25
2010 ELA Conference & Eco-Marketplace
Learn how to maximize biological potential, minimize environmental impacts, and obtain spectacular results at this one-day conference. Seventeen sessions offer multiple tracks focused on water use, landscape design, pest control, and application of practical skills. Experienced educators and practitioners provide sessions covering many aspects of ecological, sustainable, and organic landscaping (CEUs available). The concurrent Eco-Marketplace provides opportunities to explore new options in landscaping products and services.
Dinner features a keynote address by Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia's Garden, a Guide to Home-scale Permaculture. Adjunct professor at Portland State University and Scholar in Residence at Pacific University, Hemenway will share his design approach based on ecological principles that create sustainable landscapes, homes, and workplaces.

Daniel Renaud said… - Hi Nicko, I bought a couple of Kiwis at the sale 4/24. The male plant was did not make it. I think they were Geneva Kiwis. Do I have to get a male that's the same as the female for them to pollinate? Thanks. Dan

Hmmm. Sounds so good - cozy in fact, all set snooze thru the winter and then sprout when spring sun warms the soil.
Remember to join the Nut Group! (I feel right at home!).
