In our fast-changing world, communities need help to thrive. Bright Neighbor helps communities and local governments accomplish this through community organizing and Internet-based tools. Bright Neighbor’s effective combination of community involvement and social tools helps local governments, communities, faith groups, and businesses increase livability, sustainability, and relocalization while simultaneously improving local economies. Feature highlights include:
Randy White will show how to maintain fruit and nut trees for maximum food production. You will also learn the basics of grafting scions (branches from existing fruit and nut trees) to root stock, creating trees with multiple fruits.
This is part of our new re-skilling series. These will be offered on 4th Wednesdays. Randy White is the founder of Bright Neighbor. Want to share your skills by leading (or co-leading) a workshop? Please contact Transition PDX.
On January 28th, hundreds of sustainable-minded Portlanders are coming together for a rally to create more connections for networking, skills sharing, and cooperative sustainability actions. We hope you will come add your awesome talents to this growing movement.
At the rally, we will be creating multiple cooperatives on the spot, and revealing the new version of Bright Neighbor! If you want to meet other people into what you are into, this meetup is a cool place to do it.
It's free, and we are offering valuable training on various sustainability projects you can get involved with. There will be $5,000 in door prizes, free snacks, all the good stuff.
We have entertaining speakers lined up, including Dave Dahl from Dave's Killer Bread, Bo Rinaldi of Blossoming Lotus, me - and YOU!
This will be a fluid and fun event. Please share this e-mail with your friends, family, and neighbors. This is a kid friendly event!
Participating organizations are taking the lead and will sub-divide the audience into neighborhoods to introduce people to one another for a massive 95-neighborhood-wide fruit and nut tree pruning / grafting set for February 6th (pruning) and early March (grafting).
This Wednesday, Bright Neighbor Founder Randy White and Portland Peak Oil / Transition Town member Jeremy O’Leary present a video and Power Point report on transition success stories happening in Portland and beyond.
The audience will also have a sneak-peek at several new Transition and Permaculture projects being launched in Portland.
