Green Island Permaculture Meeting
The next meeting will be on Monday July 14th from 5:30pm to 8:30pm - at the latest. This is the third monthly meeting of Green Island Permaculture in which I will be leading a discussion based on chapter 3 of the Permaculture Designers Manual, Methods of Design.
The meeting will be laid back for the first half an hour with a potluck and plant swap and informal introductions. At 6:00pm we will introduce ourselves and talk about permaculture in our lives. As we discuss principles and practices from the permaculture Designers Manual we will apply these to the landscape surrounding 30 Island St., Bellows Falls, VT.
This will be a monthly meeting aiming to grow a strong permaculture community in this region of the Connecticut River Watershed. An emphasis will be placed on low maintenance perennial edible landscaping with great genetic diversity.
All are welcome. Thank you, Daniel Hartigan

Entrepreneurs. Riding. Motorcycles.
Vermont | You have an itch. Some call it a dream. You know it can work. If. Only.
Now part of the dream comes true in Vermont, in August, when the riding is easy. Motorcycle riding that is. For more than 350 miles of scenic views and back roads through 11 of Vermont’s 13 counties, the founding riders of ‘Road Pitch’ will ride everything from Harley’s to vintage motorcycles to BMWs.
“We know that Vermont is rich in unique entrepreneurs and we want to help them,” said Cairn Cross, founder of ‘Road Pitch’ a project of FreshTracks Capital. “This is a great way for entrepreneurs to establish their brand, idea, credentials, and reputation in Vermont.”
Over four days (August 4, 5, 6 and 7), in eight small towns around Vermont, 25 smart seasoned Vermont entrepreneurs, investors and business advisors will ride Vermont and listen to selected ‘pitches’. Those who pitch to this group will walk away having received something valuable (a connection, an introduction, possible financing, strategic advice, etc.).
Creative pitch venues include a mid-1860s barn in Lowell (VT) and the Bellows Falls train station. Creative Economy.
“The goal is to make Road Pitch an annual event and attract business riders from around the state and the country and bring capital, advice and help into Vermont,” Cross said.
Bringing Vermont flair, iconic entrepreneurs Don Mayer (Small Dog Electronics), Alan Newman (Magic Hat), and David Blittersdorf (All Earth Renewables) will ride around the state to help other entrepreneurs. Because they know.
Can do. Get it done. Young entrepreneurs and investors riding include Andrew Stickney (VCET), Shawn Straffin (Promot.it), and Marguerite Dibble Birnam Woods Game). Seasoned executives and academics riding include Mike Smith, Bob Bloch, Dave Schmidt, and Marc Bujold. Better than a webinar. They’re coming to a small town near you. Be there.
