Laytonville Ecovillage

800 Branscomb Laytonville, CA 95454
www.611ecovillage.com/laytonville/
Nestled near the small town of Laytonville in Northern California’s Mendocino County, this 10-acre site is being developed as a model eco-village.  In its infancy, there’s ample opportunity to become a co-creator in planning, building, design and execution if only for a day or two.  Using hands-on instruction students can learn site analysis for sustainable development, greywater systems application and building with natural materials.  Take a break from stress and city life and step into the peaceful surroundings found at the future Laytonville Ecovillage.
