Jim DeVries, director of the Laurentian Environmental Center, 8950 Peppard Road, Britt recently sat down for an interview. He reported that there will be a renovation of the main lodge this year. It is through the legislative commission of Minnesota Resources. The Laurentian lodge building was built in 1938 and now energy efficient windows and installation will be installed improving the overall efficiency of the building. There will also be some work done in the office area. Next year, there is a plan for solar heat and possible wind energy utilization. All will most likely also enhance the curriculum of the center's attendees.
The school year season has begun. The first students of the season are the New Brighton Sunnyside Elementary 5th graders who will spend 4 days. The camp has catalog selections and the district chooses which courses to offer the students. The camp is mostly booked but there is always room for consideration. Call 888-749-1288. Ask for Kristian for further details or a catalog.
Summer 2010 was one of the busiest. The warmer weather sped up the grass growth. The forest appears healthy and awaits children, students and adults for a full fall, winter, and spring visit from those who want to spend quality time in a beautiful northeastern environment.
