Workshop presenter Alfred von Bachmayr is the founder of World Hands Project (www.worldhandsproject.org). BWB and WHP have both submitted project proposals to the government of Haiti to create a protoype building system that is seismically-resistant, ecological and empowering to the Haitian people and their economy.

BWB co-directors Derek Roff and Catherine Wanek also gave presentations on Rainwater Harvesting, Composting Toilets and Straw Bale Building Design Essentials. A free Natural Building Open House on Sunday afternoon welcomed visitors to the Black Range Lodge (www.blackrangelodge.com) for an introduction to building with straw and earth, solar cooking and rainwater harvesting, and a tour of a straw-bale house. All proceeds will support rebuilding projects in Haiti.
