So you want to join an ecohousing community?

There are two ecocommunities forming at this time. 

Now we know of one rural farming ecovillage forming east of Dallas and one loft cohousing community forming in Dallas. At this time we know of none in other areas. Meeting schedule here. 

We would like to know what you want in an ecovillage. 

Please share your ideas by filling out a quick form here. 

Thank you for your help.
