Manitou Arbor Ecovillage is an eco-spiritual community in the process of forming in Southwest Michigan. We are dedicated to caring for People and the Earth by living and demonstrating a sustainable culture appropriate to our bioregion.

Please take some time to read our Covenant and peruse our website.

If you feel intrigued, join us for an Orientation! or take the MAEV Interest Survey!

AUGUST 2010
The Future Organizing Resident Group (FROG)has been working hard to reduce the buy-in cost into MAEV in order to make it affordable to firm and potential residents. As a result, we find it necessary to scale down our inital plan for the Community Building--with the goal to enlarge and improve the building as our needs dictate and as funds from the sale of lots bring in revenue.

We are also increasing lot sizes to assure solar access more easily and in a less complicated way, and we are reducing the number of attached accessible apartments to 6 (down from 11) and increasing the number of lots to 45 (up from 33).

Additionally, to speed up the project and take advantage of momentum, FROG is shifting the focus away from the Community Building to the seling of lots. We are in dialogue with a potential builder/developer and are making inquiries about cost and feasibility of purchasing the surrounding 200+ acreage property (in addition to the 40-60 acres that are already designated for the ecovillage).

Stay tuned! And stop by our booth to talk us at the 8th Annual Tiller's Harvest Fest on Sunday, September 19 from 11:30 - 6:30pm at 10515 East OP Avenue in Scotts, MI.
