In pursuance of the above aims, we may give seminars at public events, produce educational materials, videos, booklets and websites. From time to time to we may also hold fundraising campaigns to finance the aforementioned projects.
We at the Lorax Community collective are eager to combine forces with other community service-oriented organisations on any edible gardening projects, classes and educational services related to such. We are also interested in closely connecting with local farmers and other eco-friendly businesses within our local communities to cross-promote and help one another to best serve those striving to attain similar goals.
