Magnetic west

Can we imagine a way of life that is more integrated and less isolating? Can we imagine an economy that is more resilient, less damaging to the natural systems on which we rely, and conducive to local autonomy? Communities around the country and the world are asking these questions and experimenting with more cooperative and sustainable ways of doing things. I've come to stay and work on one such community, an ecovillage in southern Alaska, to learn what I can from their ongoing efforts.

River Lodge

Wanna yomp?

Chase and I did a bit of work for a neighbor who runs a river lodge. Long walkways over the muck of the river bank must be rebuilt each year for boat access during low tide. The river can have a tidal range of 20 feet, so that's a pretty good stretch of muck to cover. The charming promenade above is our handiwork.
