Relocalizing VT: a Wild VT Farm; Drive Electric

Past event
Sep 12, 2019, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - a Jefferson couple farms in a way that makes room for wildness, and the upcoming Drive Electric Week provides opportunities to test e-cars, e-bikes, e-lawnmowers, and maybe more.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Nancy and John Hayden in Jeffersonville "have spent the last 25 years transforming their draft horse–powered, organic vegetable and livestock operation into an agroecological, regenerative, biodiverse, organic fruit farm, fruit nursery, and pollinator sanctuary," reads the publicity for their new book, Farming on the Wild Side. They've told part of their story on Relocalizing Vermont before; we'll hear more Thursday.

September 14-22 has been declared National Drive Electric Week, and there are opportunities to test electric vehicles of many kinds in Montpelier, Bethel, White River Junction, and Burlington. We'll hear from Montpelier Mayor Anne Watson about her ambitions to create the greatest density of charging stations in the state in the Capital City; she will be speaking at Montpelier Drive Electric Day (Sat., Sept. 14, 11 am - 2 pm on the State House lawn). We'll also talk electrical vehicles and other transportation of the future with VPIRG's Kanika Gandhi and Dave Roberts, coordinator of Drive Electric Vermont.
