Listen to a short presentation and take a site tour. Then spend the afternoon participating in one of our village activities, maintenance or construction projects, picnicking on our beautiful site, and chatting with Ecovillage members (many of whom have unique skills and experience in everything from permaculture to natural construction, animal husbandry to tool libraries and wellbeing). Your children will love exploring our natural playground, and are most welcome to participate in our activities too.
For information about activities and stalls available each month, check our facebook page.
Tea/coffee, water, and a seasonal fruit platter will be available. Please feel free to bring along your own lunch or afternoon tea to enjoy, or explore the growing options available at our village stalls and juice bar.
Cost to attend any part of the day: Individual $10, Family $20
Please note this is a rural property. We recommend wearing enclosed shoes (not thongs or sandals).
Our mission includes striving for ecological sustainability. We ask that you leave your pets at home when you visit the Ecovillage.

Calling all dirt- and soil- worshippers, cultivators, regenerators, composters and mud-lovers!
Date: Saturday May 11 2019, 10 am to 4 pm. Put this not-to-missed event in your
2019 dairy now.
Narara Eco Living Network will present a fun and informative day dedicated to “dirt” (mainly soil!).
- A day that celebrates the vitality and importance of soil-the living carpet we take for
granted, totally rely on, and which we are losing much too fast! - A day of very practical information: soil science and analysis (testing and tasting!),
composting and worm farms, permaculture and regenerative agriculture, chemistry
and biology, and getting your hands into dirt.
Talks, demonstrations, hands-on experiences, and opportunities to talk with experts. Presenters include ABC television personalities Angus Stewart and Tino Carnevale, Simon Leake ( SESL, soils author), Prof. Mark Taylor (MacQuarie University), Peter Bacon (Woodlots and Wetlands), Permaculture experts and more.
Venues: Narara Valley High School and Narara Ecovillage, Narara, NSW 2250.
