We need your support!We are currently raising funds for our largest capital campaign to date. Help us complete the much-needed renovation and completion of the existing barn at Freetown Farm. We have about $150,000 left to raise.
It's fair to say that bringing the barn into its full potential is essential to furthering CEI’s mission of cultivating communities where people and nature thrive together. Currently, the barn lacks electricity, plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and all the needed interior finishes. Imagine how much more inviting, inclusive, and impactful Freetown Farm will be with accessible, indoor classrooms, rest rooms, meeting areas, and offices! |
Community health in social actionFostering community health means providing opportunity for a diverse group of people to connect with nature and the natural environment. This connection enhances personal, social and ecological well-being. The Community Ecology Institute is committed to meaningful social action that is inclusive and equal to all. We are pleased to be in good company at Freetown Farm with our social justice collaborators: The NCCAP, Hopeworks, and The 3rd.
