David Tuch, VP at Equinox Environmental has a wealth of knowledge and experience. A presenter at the 
2009 GREEN HOMES (and Land) Tour, Tuch is involved in an array of eco-community developments in the Greater Asheville, NC area.
During the presentation time, Tuch, an expert consultant for the Mountain Landscapes Initiative, talked about how we can grow local economies in North Carolina's mountain region without threatening the natural assets that attract new people and new investment. He also looked at how to adjust to change in the mountains without sacrificing community character and sense of place.
Following that thought he asked . . . "WHERE is the perfect place to construct the green-built home of your dreams?"
If I were to choose, and it would be hard because Asheville is full of possibility, I possibly would choose a building site in one of Asheville, North Carolina's eco-communities.
"GREEN" is the word here in Western North Carolina's mountains.More and more here in Asheville we are noticing a trend toward sustainable environments, and more and more. Asheville is becoming the "hub' of green and sustainable development. Touring various eco-communities in the Asheville, NC areato explore sustainable innovation inour area is what this is all about.
Eco-Stewards' GREEN LEARNING TOURS takes you to one of Tuch's masterpieces of planning, Drovers Road Preserve. (This might just be one of my favorite places. I've spent many happy hours there. Just inside the entrance to this eco-community you can discover a bit of authentic Appalachian history.You can actually see the roadbed that once connected drovers to and from the markets of Asheville's city center. The trail is marked. The mood is set.
