Hi David, It was great to meet you last weekend and hear of this network. I hope we can stay in touch and please let me know if you are in or around Nashville anytime this spring or summer. Best, Sarah
Hi DAVID. Thanks for the reply, we have more volunteers than we can shake a stick at and kids with too much time on their hands. The biggest problem & my greatest concern is the Chattanooga Creek. We are really right on top of it & it does tend to flood when we get a lot of rain.
I wonder what is necessary to remediate a problem like that, so that people can produce their own food. Honestly, I'm scared to even go near the water. But I am in this for the long term, I'm not going anywhere and I'm willing to work hard and have a great network of willing bodies.
hi david! i see you're thinking about joining us for the visioning this weekend at moonshadow. great. do you have any questions?
i look forward to hearing from you,

Thanks David. Its good to finally get the document out to the community. Thanks for reading it in so much depth. I'm excited about the next stage which will require a huge push from the community. Will you be at the SVI retreat next week? If so I look forward to meeting you.
I hope this group represents a growing network of people who can spearhead real change. We have permaculture in our front yard, and a native habitat rebuilding project. We actually eat off the land, and could really benefit from that conference. We're using the biointensive farming method, but most of what we have to use are the invasives I'm trying to clear, kudzu and english ivy, which several folks have warned me about composting. I've got a lot to learn
i am really proud of you guys. you proved my instinct correct. all we need is a group of really motivated individuals to get these sites off the ground. i am currently the creator of three sites, MN, MI and TN... check them out. do not be shy about making changes here, or if you would like me to help you change something let me know. MI worked out in much the same fashion. When i first did MN, it was with the idea of contacting organizations i knew there with strong transition tendencies, but guess what, they failed us. sooner or later MN will get launched, but it will take a group like you have here, not a top down organization approach, just motivated individuals who take initiative.
