On May 9th, ATA helped host a 'bale-raising,' placing approximately 250 rice straw bales into the walls of the Dicolen Residence near Santa Rosa, being rebuilt after the Tubbs Fire of October, 2017. We all wore masks and kept a safe distance, and it was still a magical day of coming together to accomplish something wonderful. We are grateful to Verdant Structural Engineers and Deep Green Building & Remodeling as well as friends of the owners who joined us. Christina, Tya, Devin, Anni, and David were there from ATA, along with Elli (plus Nick) from VSE.
