The
History of Ecovillage Big Stone
The
ecovillage was named Big Stone in summer 2005, but its
history began in 1992 by the initiative of Kulasov's family.
Economist Antonina, medical doctor Ivan and their daughter
Aleksandra decided to live in the countryside in their
patrimonial house. They were inspired by the idea of
ecological ethics. Kulasovs began to live ecological life,
turned into vegetarians. They inherited 0,5 hectares of land
and keep organic farming and gardening, used the other 0,5
hectares of hayfields. Shilkovsky pinery, big swamp Lebiyaj'e,
hidden lake Glukhoe, river Kubena and a big flooded plain
gave enough herbs, berries and mushrooms. The family was
surrounded with the Russian northern Taiga forests. They found
the land where there had been no wars. They enjoyed beauty
of nature. |
