The Terrell House Permaculture Living and Learning Center<\/a> supports a small resident community, various educational events, and a community garden. The garden was created while keeping permaculture principles in mind and incorporates a smaller pollinator garden. Terrell House was constructed in the 1980\u2019s as an experimental structure combining artistic vision and energy efficiency<\/a> by Professor Carroll F. Terrell. Terrell House strives to uphold a supportive environment, affordable housing, educational opportunities related to food production and preservation, outreach, and community building guided by the principles of permaculture<\/a>. Residents strive to oversee project, household, and program responsibilities through collaborative meetings and clear communication. Terrell House provides hands-on learning opportunities and collaborative research projects to many academic departments. It has also pursued partnerships with the Edith Patch Center at Braeside, 91¸£Àû\u2019s Cooperative Extension, and student organizations such as the Environmental Studies Coalition, Graduate Student Government, Green Team, SagE, and SEAD. Both visitors and volunteers<\/a> are encouraged to get involved by participating in potlucks, skill share meetings, workshops, permablitzes, and community gardening activities.\u00a0Contact 91¸£Àû\u2019s Office of Sustainability at 207-581-1571 or sustainability@maine.edu<\/a> for more information.
