Why do we have a survey?
The survey is a
research tool that is compiled, then guides us in:
1. Planning meeting locations.
2. Seeking land for future ecovillages.
3. Knowing what people seek in their own personal lives and ideal
communities.
It also adds you to our mailing list for invitations to our meetings and new information regarding ecovillage/cohousing in the DFW area.
Please fill out the survey here. It is quickly done. Thank you.

Do you notice that something is missing from the list of common areas?
The swimming pools and recreation areas of most large suburban neighborhoods are rarely important to cohousing communities, often because of cost. Yet they may be included in an ecovillage or group of cohousing communities.
