Wayland Patch 3/9/13: Earth Day Invite: Wayland Residents Prove ‘You’re Never Too Old to Get Greener’. Transition Wayland and the Wayland Green Team are organizing a series of open houses April 27-28, that will celebrate Earth Day and allow residents to get to know the green efforts of their neighbors. The house was an ordinary small Garrison Colonial house, 60 years old with terrible drafts and thriving termites – not exactly the comfy condo that seemed sensible to empty-nesters Jean Milburn and Roger Wiegand. But the two-acre lot had an open pasture ringed by forest, a southern exposure, and a century-old barn with a jaunty weather vane. The land was flooded with sunlight and seemed perfect for passive and active solar home design. Perhaps, they thought, this could be their place to age greenfully in Wayland, so they bought it.
