Are you interested in joining the next round of Natural Step study circles?

Interested persons will be introduced to the book, “The Natural Step for Communities” and given an overview of topics to be discussed. Individual StudyCircles will be formed at this meeting based on participates schedules; each study circle will choose a convenient day and time to meeting for the following seven weeks.

Issues addressed in the study circles will be, “How can we met the needs of present development without sacrificing the future?” and “How can we better use and preserve our natural resources in Lake Country?”

Study circles involve reading the book “The Natural Steps for Communities” and discussing weekly topics from the book lead by a trained facilitator.

For more information on study circles, or to sign up, please contact
