NNDC -  Natural Neighborhood Development Coalition
We're making great progress in our plans for the Natural Neighborhood and Building School.

​At this time we are actively seeking board members and a future administrative staff to establish accreditation.
This accreditation will catapult Natural Building in Austin to new levels with funding and support. We will soon be having the main announcement potluck and Master Planning party. Keep a look out for the 'evite'!





We were in Tribeza magazine in October and filmed for the TV series George Clarke's Amazing Spaces. We'll tell you when it airs.
