Visitor Process: If you're interested in finding out more about BTR Ecovillage and/or getting to know the current group members, please send an email telling us a little bit about yourself using the "Email This Community!" button on this page. We are not open to the public, but are starting to mature in our housing, processes and people skills. We may in the future invite folks for a visit to see what we have created and how we live. For now though, send us an email and we will respond. We are considering buying more land nearby and starting another Ecovillage, so if you are interested in THAT, email us and we can correspond.
