Urban Permaculture Institute lends a hand at the EcoCenter
On the first Saturday of the month, the Urban Permaculture Institute led by Kevin Bayuk did a work exchange with the EcoCenter: in exchange for the use of space, Bayuk and students of UPI put some sweat equity into the native landscape surrounding the EcoCenter. This is the third year in a row that UPI has come out to the green building; we love folks who continue to deepen their relationship with this piece of land over time.
