No  building experience necessary. Dress in work clothes. Gloves and  

eye protection recommended. Bring water bottles and a boxed  lunch or

potluck.  Musicians welcome!

Natural  Building  Systems, a design/build seminar  course at UB, has been working with MAP (and Street Synergy

and  to effect change and community revitalization by supporting the work of  existing nonprofit organizations involved
 
with  urban ecology and sustainable practices.

Bale on Bale  Construction is a  Buffalo company that  specializes in Natural  Building, especially strawbale  construction.  
 
Buffalo resident and Bale on  Bale head, Dave Lanfear, has participated in dozens of  Natural  Building projects throughout  
 
the  Midwest and  Northeast United  States
.
