Wynne Farm Field Trip



Tomorrow we will be spending the day on Wynne Farm Ecological Reserve. The video above is a news clip of Jane Wynne and the farm she runs (her father started it in the 50s) which is dedicated to environmental education so as to promote sustainable development and the healing of planet earth in Haiti. You most likely won't be able to understand the French or Creole in the news clip, but it gives you an idea of what the farm is like, and the beautiful location and scenery we will be seeing tomorrow.

The day will consist of 4 main activities:
- recycling of paper
- reusing plastic bottles to make different objects
- introduction to bamboo and its uses
- composting and vermiculture

I am so excited for the day! It is going to be so interesting to experience another side of Haiti (rural, up in the mountains), to learn about environmental sustainability of this beautiful country, and to watch the kids learn and experience a part of Haiti they most likely have never experienced before!

Look for a post of our field trip later this week...
