About  [Edit]

 

The Natural Building Network is a membership based non-profit education and outreach organization dedicated to making sustainable regenerative healthy habitation more universally accessible, desirable and plausible.

“Natural Building is any building system which places the highest value on social and environmental sustainability. It assumes the need to minimize the environmental impact of our housing and other supporting systems while providing healthy, beautiful, comfortable and spiritually uplifting homes for everyone.” - Michael G. Smith

I would like to learn how to construct buildings with Cobb Construction methods and other natural methods.  This is a very interesting prospect to me.  Do you have workshops that you do, or a building that you are building as a means of educating and demonstrating these techniques?  Please contact me if I could get involved, and let me know!
