Belfast
Cohousing & Ecovillage will host free family
events on Sunday, April 11, starting with: Building a
Treehouse in a Day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Belfast
Cohousing Dad and master home-builder, Alan Gibson,
will lead kids with tool-wielding ability and their
parents in assembly, construction and decoration of
one sturdy treehouse at 45 Edgecomb Road, the Belfast
Cohousing & Ecovillage site. Kids and parents
will learn location selection techniques, explore
design ideas, and work with their hands to build a
fine treehouse. Bring lunch and your tool(s) of
choice—a hammer, saw or paintbrush—and join the fun!
Younger children and adults of all ages are also invited to build fairy houses with Emily Gable, mother of two and expert fairyfolk housing specialist, starting at 2 p.m. “Using bark, moss, leaves, sticks, seeds and whatever else we may find, we will create homes for our fairy friends of the land,” says Emily. This activity is fun for all ages. Feel free to bring treasures from your own land or seashore. For more information and to rsvp for these two free workshops, please call: 338-9200 or send an email to: info@mainecohousing.org. Parent involvement welcome.
