Green Neighbor (Not Just) Bike Tours

[This page is from our 2011 Green Neighbors summer tours, where we passed well over 500 total bikers in our fourth consecutive tours summer. Please stay tuned for the return of tours in summer, 2012! :-) ]

NLCCoS is hosting our annual tours of neighborhood sustainability efforts. Previously known as the “green home bike tours,” these events have become the more accessible “Green Neighbor (Not Just) Bike Tours.” Please join us by bike, foot (some tours may be all or partially walkable), or pooled transport to visit neighborhood examples of gardening, permaculture, green energy, rainwater collection, beekeeping, chickenkeeping, community gardens, neighborhood cooperation, and more. Don’t see your neighborhood listed and might be interested in helping lead a tour? Please contact Doug at <deeblack@gmail.com>.
