Where: The Leathers Building at 675 Pulaski St Suite 400.

Tickets are $15. [This is closing quickly, as attendance is limited.] If you have already received an email from me regarding your attendance, please bring a check the night of the event made out to Athens Emerging Green Builders. Though we are at our quota with 21 people signed up, by splitting into groups we can accommodate a few more people (4 maybe), so if someone else would like to attend, send me an email.

If you are unable to attend, please let me know so that someone else can take your place.

When:    Sat, October 24, 10am – 12pm
Where: Lumpkin St. & Cedar St, Athens – at the red pavillion
What: Yank California Privet (and other invasive species) out of Lumpkin Woods to make it prettier, safer & cleaner. We’ll bring the fun weed wrenches, but if you’ve got a machete…  Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Bring gloves. Wear close-toed shoes. Snacks and beverages will be provided!

SEA and GO GREEN are hosting a tour of the steam plant so people can actually see the coal boiler that those organizations are trying to get rid of.  It’s Oct. 28th at 5:15..meet in front of the Ecology Building. For those of us who won’t be able to attend the Open Books Series, Part 1, this will be an excellent alternative. Please take photos and we’ll post them on the egb photo gallery.
