Notes/Thoughts from Biospheric Foundation visit 17/11/2011


THINGS i.e. IDEAS

Series of events/projects involving the community

(culminating in a large-scale event?)

pick out one idea from a 'lottery' (The Babylon Lottery)

>whilst resident at the BF<

(1 week/1 day a week over several weeks)

Alternative methods of getting messages to the community (promoting the BF) - not via social media [post?]


Totem Pole

Subtle..(cows, superlambananas - iconic)

Treehouse! Invite the community to help build a treehouse - observation tower (bird watching! - bird watching for beginners workshop?) project things from treehouse onto building...

'Blackboards' - boarded up ground floor windows - chalk boards? projections?

Projections onto bridge

River - boats - boat making project/workshop?

Cooking workshops

Increasing the amount of worms in forest garden - would attract more birds.
Growing food in forest garden (and roof garden) - would attract more birds.

How to stop birds (and other animals - squirrels, hedgehogs, foxes) from eating the food produce?
- make bird feeders to keep them away from the human food? bird feeder making workshop?

Squirrel obstacle course!


> can we do things that are just for fun? If they still get people involved? <

Other notes from last week's visit:

getting young offenders(?) -under 25 to transfer their skills of growing cannabis to growing food? instead of Community Service
