Opportunity to preserve a beautiful wilderness area on the North Mountain!
To all my friends, supporters, and Awakened Dreamers who are interested in protecting Mother Earth at a local level – PLEASE READ! There is now the possibility to protect 380 acres of land surrounding The Oasis.
Hi, I am Michel Palmer and this letter has been written to seek your support in protecting a beautiful wilderness area on the North Mountain near Middleton in the Annapolis Valley, N.S. Presently there is a 380 acre piece of forested land for sale next to my land, The Oasis, which I have first right of refusal to purchase. The final date to make this purchase is June 15th, 2012 (Money has to be in Trust Fund by June 05/12!!!), and currently there is a competing offer from a former owner who plans to create a Christmas tree plantation on this natural woodland. Every day I wake up knowing that I must do something – everything that I can to prevent this from happening. Mother Earth herself is speaking about the need to awaken other human beings so that we can come together and create a beautiful synergistic project of the human spirit.
My ideas include helping to create a caretakers society, an Eco-village, an association or shared ownership model to better steward this land. There are many possibilities for what this could look like and I am open to a range of diverse models. For this I will seek collaborative input and ideas from all stakeholders who want to participate. I envision a project based on organic and permaculture principles to create an ecologically sustainable place of healing; a creative, artistic space that will allow many people to belong, share and take part in protecting this land.
What can be done? Action plan
The first step is to purchase and to secure the land. The deadline is June 15th, 2012 (Money has to be in Trust Fund by June 05/12!!!). The price of the land is approximately $190,000, and I am now seeking investors able to extend a loan of at least $5000, with an annual rate of return of 4% interest for 2 years; Parker & Richter Law Firm in Greenwood N.S. has been retained to provide notarized promissory notes to secure the loan.

Procedure for Investing
For those that have pledged financial support, or those that are interested in supporting this project, the procedure is now in place to send your funds to the trust account that has been created. Working in conjunction with Parker and Richter Law Offices, in Greenwood, NS, we have developed a trust fund for all investments that are collected. The procedure is as follows:
1/ Please mail a certified cheque, bank draft or postal money order payable to “Parker and Richter In Trust” and write on memo line “for Michel Palmer.”(If mailed after May 25th/12, please send by Priority Post)
2/ Certified cheques to be sent to : Ron Richter, c/o Parker and Richter, PO Box 629, Greenwood, NS, B0P-1N0.
3/ Please make it very clear when sending funds whether or not you choose to receive the four (4) % interest option or the zero (0) % interest option that some investors have selected.
4/ When sending your certified cheque or bank draft please include your name, telephone number, a valid email address and a mailing address so that clear communication can occur.
5/Send an email to Michel at openeyeswider@hotmail.com letting him know, when it was sent, how much was sent and what option was chosen.
How this Trust Fund Works
All monies received by Parker and Richter Law Offices (www.parkerandrichter.com) will be deposited into a designated bank account that can only be utilized for the purchase of this land. When cheques are received, they are cashed and deposited into this account. When this occurs, Parker and Richter will issue a receipt of the deposit and send an electronic copy of the Promissory Note to the email address supplied by the investor. At this point, the funds and the original Promissory Notes, are held in Escrow, which means they can only be used for the purchase of the land.
When the land is purchased, the original Promissory Note will be mailed to the address supplied by the investor. It is at this point that interest will start to accrue.
If for some unforeseen circumstances, the land is not purchased, Parker and Richter will issue a cheque for the value of the original investment and return it to all investors.
Thank you for your attention and participation in helping move this project forward. -Michel
