A Community Sustained

On a quiet dirt road in the rural town of Truxton, New York, sits the Common Place Land Trust, a unique community founded nearly 50 years ago as an attempt at communal living. Colleen Kattau, one of more than a dozen people who live sustainably on the land, provides insight into the beginnings of the land trust, the community structure, and what the members do to promote environmental sustainability in an era that is increasingly removed from the earth.
