Permaculture Demonstration Heaven...SOS!
We need your help and ideas...

Historical property, one of the last remaining farmhouses with intact barns in the city limits, is an important link to our community's past.



*The site is located near downtown San Luis Obispo, in the heart of the California Central Coast (just eight miles from the Pacific Ocean, exactly halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, at the junction of Interstate 101 and Coast Highway One).
This area enjoys a subtropical Mediterranean climate and excellent valley-bottom soil that we have further enriched on-site with extensive composting.*

The permaculture site where we have been focusing our restorative energy for the past few years is up for sale. This would be a perfect site for an Ecological Arts Center with permaculture gardens and room for local green businesses. We are seeking participation by local environmental groups as well.
It is one of the last vestiges of undeveloped ranchland right in the midst of a town undergoing a developmental growth spurt. With its 'commercial' zoning, it is likely to be bulldozed unless we are successful in our efforts to gain the aid of an organization, individuals, or businesses to help buy the site.

With a canvas like this and given some time we could hardly avoid succeeding in the creation of a world class marvel of urban ecological imagination.
