Time flies like a Wild Turkey at the Kinark Outdoor Centre where spring has sprung and Messy Jesse the intern is hard at work making his nest in the Sustainable Living Centre.
Since my last post I’ve had the chance to see some top local and national talent at the Haliburton County Earth Day Family Festival. Rick and Terri is a Juno award nominated folk duo who rocked my nation with the song “Calling Canada” and Trina West played great Earth themed folk tunes to a very entertained crowd of families and earth lovers.
We are constantly getting closer to our goal of not wasting anything at the Kinark outdoor Centre. We are making some improvements on the Sustainable Living Centre and the Re-store yard next to it. The goal is to store construction materials and scrap materials for reuse or recycling in a very organized fashion so the site can also be used for education. The worms are also working hard at wiggling through our compost in their new home. Red wigglerific!
Funds for some of the Sustainable Living Centre’s events and materials are being raised through a rain barrel sales event this summer. Rain barrels are being sold at $50 online at http://rainbarrel.ca/minden/. They are made of reused or recycled materials and come with a hose attachment at the bottom and a screen on top. The pick up day is on Saturday, July 31st from 12 – 4pm at the Sustainable Living Centre.
Hope all is well in the lives of those reading this!
Naturally yours,
Messy Jesse the Intern
