Rebuild-It Projects

Enviro House Tour

One of our most important educational and fundraising events is our annual Enviro House Tour. Each year, we host a self-guided tour of environmentally friendly homes in the Gorge, so that you can see a variety of techniques and materials for building or remodeling your home with a lower cost to the environment. From strawbale walls to solar panels, you can see the homes and hear the stories of local people doing their part to make a difference.

Join us on October 6th, 2007 for our next tour!
