Messy Jesse the Intern is still at the Kinark Outdoor Centre, blogging about my first three weeks living here. I’ve been giving some Tender Loving Care to our wonderful Sustainable Living Centre building. Spring cleaning seems to cheer me up when I find all kinds of fun program materials like Solar Race Cars and model windmills.

Our caring staff team does everything in their power to make Kinark an earth friendly place. Most of the lunches brought by our staff in the office are in washable containers and free of throw away packaging. The Outdoor Educators were busy making Maple Syrup for our delicious pancake dinner, and getting nice stinky breath from wild leeks that we’ve put in tasty salads and stir fry. We even had a human stampede in our office to see a moose that was walking right past our office windows. Only at Kinark!

There was a little trouble with our worm composters last week. The Red Wiggler worms have been trying to escape! The poor little wigglers were overfed and didn’t have enough air in the paper shred bedding. But never fear! They have a new home with fresh food at the Sustainable Living Centre after a few hours of digging through compost to find them.

Naturally yours,

PS. I’ve been given some awesome links to environmental web sites, so I've put some of the best links at below... Enjoy!
