Review for Chewonki Foundation Inc, Wiscasset, ME, USA
My exoeriences at the Chewonki Foundation span a period of over 60 years. First as a camper, then as a counselor, then as a parent and now as a trusteee Chewonki has historically set the bar in natural history studies, environmental studies and sound environmental practices that include a bio- diesel plant, hydrogen power,energy conservation and monitoring, recycling, organic gardens and more. Chewonki not only engages in good practices, more importantly it shares and teaches everyone around them Recognized worldwide for their contrinbutions, Chewonki will only continue to blaze the trail and be on the cutting edge in the years ahead.
