At home in Hickory Nut Forest: Creating a net-zero eco-community
When we first walked the land that is now Hickory Nut Forest Eco-Community, we had to bushwhack our way through an overgrown forest that appeared to have had no human inhabitants for quite some time. We discovered a jewel, a wild mountain forest cut through by a tumbling, boulder-strewn creek. We discovered the stone foundation of an old gristmill that had washed away in the flood of 1916. Romantic notions arose of recreating the gristmill.
