Stewardship in a Word

We've recently asked artists, volunteers, board members, students and friends of all flavors to give us one word that symbolizes "stewardship" to them. Here are some of the responses:

Purple, care-taker, connection, religion, care, husbandry, long-term, tree, gratitude, resourceful, dream, helping, responsibility, nurture, healthy, personal time, misunderstood, conserving, guardian, collective ownership, sanctuary, treehouse, forest, hand, leaves, pine needles, nuts and seeds, tools, community, water.

Post your word and it may just end up in the Stewardship Center design. Oh and check it out, more progress, last weekend...................building friendships while building walls.

Tree Post, Straw Wall & Volunteers! Oh My....

Less talk and more action! We're excited that most of our Stew postings are less words and more photos of people actually building this building! The framing, temporary roof and strawbale wall have now been completed entirely with volunteer help. Visit the homepage and click on the link to our volunteer sign up. The clay and sand arrive on Friday. Co-ed, barefoot cob mixing starts Saturday. Stomp on by.....

With resounding volunteer help last Saturday, the straw-bale wall went up in a flash.
