In 2010, Lost Valley Educational Center will be starting new eco-building courses. We would like to be able to demonstrate as many material options as possible, including papercrete. If you know of anyone who could donate a papercrete mixer, not a towmixer, but a stationary one, to Lost Valley, please forward them our email address registrar@lostvalley.org. Thank you and we hope to see you in 2010. To learn more about our 2010 courses click here
