Sustainability EVENT PARTNERS
We love putting together Permacutlure Action Days, workshops, and other events in cities that we perform. If you’re interested in hosting or producing an event with us, please email sustainability@moonhooch.com.
(San Francisco, CA) Permaculture Action Network engages concertgoers and festival attendees to get to work on a local project in high-traffic areas. This not only helps touring bands to leave cities better than when they got there, but also educates people about what is possible when doing these radical projects! They are based out of California and have a global, growing network. We collaborated with them on an amazing action day at Seeds of Power Unity Farm on July 13th, 2019, after our debut Red Rocks debut on July 12, 2019.
