The green houses shown are located at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks. They were used for student research, holding in heat and helping to maintain a controlled environment. We are hoping to gather
funding for the construction of a greenhouse in Arctic Village that's secure in keeping pesky critters away. Yes, even bears! Many methods of gardening are being considered including raised gardens, growing plants in containers to be moved inside, and even growing on roof tops. All of these methods have differing costs for materials and the transporting of the materials by small airplane to Arctic Village. We know that this is just the beginning as we hope to help each one of the fifteen Gwich'in villages as the project expands. Perhaps, the dream of a large cooperative between the villages will evolve as discussed in the 1940's at a Gwich'in conference. These native brothers and sisters are fighting to keep their land and culture from the clutches of oil interests. If you are moved by the Spirit to help preserve this beautiful land and culture, a love gift can be sent to us at 227 W 100 N, Monroe, IN 46772. All gifts will be used for the materials needed to follow God's call for this project.
