Other people have done it!

Yes, I want one in Vermont where I can plant a garden and watch the ferns grow!

I'd have it on a platform so you'd have to climb a few stairs ! Yes electricity, Yes broadband, Yes running water (connection) and yes portapotty or electric toilet!

Primitive Architecture

Why not a yert? http://vintagecarole.vox.com/library/post/my-summer-dream-in-the-woods-of-n-hero-vermont.html

This is looking south down Abnaki Rd. from the point of beginning which is the northernmost western corner where a rod was placed by the most recent land surveyor.

Islander Newspaper

This newspaper keeps me up on who has died, and what's going on. The Islander

I wish the older issues were posted. When I go up there, I go to the office and pick up
the paper versions I missed. It is a great overview of what's happening.

Vermont, my old friend

This is one of many sites.   Vermont State Parks

In NORTH HERO, Champlain Islands, where the 5 acres is located, the closest

park is Knight Point State Park 

walking or bicycling distance!  The region includes Underhill which I don't quite understand because it is farthest away and not in the Islands.  But Region III  

has so many parks!!!

RV (land yachts) would have amenities they need.  

National Parks in Vermont....of course the famous Long Trail is the

Appalachian

This link shows where the Long Trail travels through Vermont.

I've never been to this National Park but some day I will visit Billings 

Okay so now I am going to throw in a wonderful park I would like to immitate in North Hero

SOMEWHERE.  I love this park.  In Alabama, Weeks Bay

I have walked up that boardwalk several times and think that North Hero could have something like this right on Hibbard Bay.  

This brochure clearly shows that Vermont isn't on their map!  

I want a "Green Sanctuary" path that would highlight the wildflowers and habitat on the 5 acres.

Green is good. Green Mountain State, Vermont

Telling the world about Dr. John Todd, University of Vermont, Bioneer is not easy.
I want an information box at the green sanctuary for this reason. The old fashioned way was paper. Here is something I have been following for a while:

• http://chemicallygreen.com/world-toilet-day/

In fact, isn't this a nice email he sent me? What he is saying is that people are not as concerned as they ought to be. I don't promote any particular product that I know of. I have read some trade magazines and for years read stuff from the Chesapeake area in that huge database I forget the name of it now. Once I did a page on geocities but it disappeared I forget why.

"Carole, thank you very much for your comments and followup info for
Chemically Green. I wish we could get a lot more people to
show passion and concern about green and saving the planet like you.
If you have any other info or a great idea for a post, please let me know.

Keep in touch and have a great 2009.

** *** *** Of all the coincidences, an old friend from the 1970's is constructing these yerts!  I think they are awesome!

Above site  is where the yert would be located.   If you look at the road, it runs north and south,  and you start at the spot where the trees begin on the right side (top) that is the NorthWest corner of the 5 acres.  In other words, the top block.  There is a diagonal line. To the east of thatline it represents a lower elevation area of trees and sandy soils.  Deer have been seen in this area at certain times of the year.

This road, Abnaki Road,  has a water main line access point.   There are power/telephone poles on the right side of the road as well.  

This 5 acres is perfect for Yert Camping!  Areas  need to be cleared for a garden which would also provide firewood.  

More information is available on mapquest and from Vermont state tourism offices.  

This is where I would eventually like to stay from May until October some day.  It is a dream.

And, it may not happen.  But, since 1982 I wanted to live there, affordably and at this time the Yert idea is my only option!!!

I would like to have a small information booth, with a boardwalk into this "Green Sanctuary" explaining how valuable it is to preserve this type of land and ecology.

I need a partner and would like to create a non-profit organization.  At this time, I am looking for someone who can see the potential of this project.  Become a reader/follower of this site.  Post data !
