Eco-Village Participant Information

About the Eco-Village In addition to providing a stimulating, academic program for K-8 students, Black Pine Circle School aims to nurture responsible world citizens and engages students in endeavors that lead toward that goal. The Eco-village represents BPC’s commitment to create conscientious students.

The Eco-village will be a collection of organizations, businesses, and activities representing different aspects of eco-living and eco-consciousness including:
• Food, Dining, & Gardening
• Preservation of land and delicate ecosystems
• Energy Usage
• Ecological Footprint
• Consumption
• Overall Good Stewardship and Eco-consciousness

The Ecovillage is important to BPC because it represents our values, which we wish to promote and share with our community and guests in this public venue. To get the most out of this portion of Cornucopia, our guests will be encouraged to complete a “scavenger hunt” by visiting each both. Those who successfully complete it will receive a prize.
