May Meeting At Khula Dhamma

Please join us for the fourth meeting of

GREEN LIVING EL at
Khula Dhamma Eco Community Farm on
21st may 2011

We are changing the format of the meeting to accommodate traveling
time and to make the distance worthwhile.

You hosts will be Tim Wigley and Anne Keating who joined the
eco-community last year.

ARRIVE at 11:00 and following the signs to the community hall.
Join us there for tea and a chat about community life and have a quick look around at the various houses and community garden.
Walk down to Tim and Anne’s place – earth harmony homestead.
Here Tim will explain how he has designed their 2 hectare plot on Permaculture principles.
RIVER WALK & your contribution to forest restoration!
Khula Dhamma is over run by alien vegetation but there is a narrow band of lovely indigenous fauna along the Quko river.
We’ll have lunch here at the river and Tim will talk about our forest restoration plans. To help the restoration along we ask that you each bring an old container and a small trowel to dig up the many baby yellowwoods on the forest floor. These will then be replanted when they are a good size.
WALK BACK TO YOUR CAR
We’ll then take another route back to the community ‘village’ where you will have parked your car.

We hope to be back here by 3:00/3:30. If you need to leave earlier, please feel free to do so!

Khula Dhamma Eco Community Farm is situated on the Haga Haga road
(directions below). Due to the fact that Khula Dhamma is approx 45mins
drive from East London we would like to try coordinate lift sharing in
order to reduce the amount of vehicles travelling to the venue. If you
are set on driving to the venue in your own vehicle and don't mind
offering lifts to other members, please send an email to
greenlivingel@gmail.com stating the no of extra people you can
accommodate as well as the area you live in and contact details. Those
of you who would prefer catching a ride to the venue please send an
email request for a lift as well as the area you live in and contact
details.

We will then be able to create a lifts offered/lifts requested list.
This list will then be emailed out in the hope that right people can
connect.

DIRECTIONS TO KHULA DHAMMA

Take the N2 north from East London.

About 35km out of East London take the Kei Mouth/Morgan Bay/Haga Haga turn off to your right. Travel along this road for 11 Km until you reach St Anthony’s Store on your left.

Take the turn off to Haga Haga on your right.

Travel along this dirt road for 6 km.

You will see a small wood sign board ‘KD ECO COMMUNITY’ on your left.

Turn in there, go through the gate. Keep going along this farm road through the next gate (please close the gate). Keep going for about another 1km up the hill and you will see the parking on your right.
