Liz Walker is a passionate advocate for creating sustainable communities. In 1991, she co-founded EcoVillage at Ithaca (EVI) www.ecovillageithaca.org, with a colleague. Liz  dedicated her full-time work for the next three decades to bring this internationally acclaimed project from vision to reality, managing the development of each of its three cohousing neighborhoods, and founding and leading its educational arm, Learn@EcoVillage (now called Thrive EcoVillage Education Center.) EVI is now the largest cohousing community in the world, with 100 households. 

Her  two popular books, EcoVillage at Ithaca: Pioneering a Sustainable Culture, (2005, New Society Publishers) and Choosing a Sustainable Future: Ideas and Inspiration from Ithaca, New York, (October, 2010, New Society) have helped to introduce the concepts of ecovillages and sustainable communities to a broad audience in the U.S. and other countries, and have been translated into several languages. 

Liz  lives with her husband at EcoVillage Ithaca. Whenever she gets a chance, she loves to go biking, or hiking in the beautiful gorges in the Finger Lakes region of NY. She also loves to garden, and coordinates the EVI Food Hub, which donates excess garden produce to people in need.
