Tir Tairngire Project

Corner Brook, Newfoundland And Labrador,

Canada

The Tir Tairngire Project is a think-tank designed to organize the formation of an ecovillage in Western Newfoundland, Canada.

Relying on wind turbines, water recycling, organic farming, and unique engineering design principles, our goal is to establish a 'Zero-Impact' lifestyle and have an ecological footprint smaller than our actual property-size

Status: Think-Tank Phase
