Earth Day at Blue Rock Station

April 19th   (10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.)

Come spend Earthday with us at Blue Rock Station.  Aside from touring the station - we will (weather permitting) set up areas where you and your kids can try many of the techniques used in building sustainable shelters.

There will be stations set up so you can:

• Pound tires filled with dirt (like the ones in the Earthship)
• Help dig in the garden and other  muddy work
• Work with mud plaster on the chicken chalet wall (if it isn’t too cold to get your hands wet)
• Help use  bottles and cans to build  walls
• Feed our rare breed chickens
• Walk  with the llamas
• ... and probably a bunch of things we haven’t yet imagined

Tour Blue Rock Station:  

First stop is a stroll around  Blue Rock Station - home of Ohio's first Earthship, an amazing home made of tires, cans, bottles and earth.  During the summer there will be a variety of projects to view including a plastic bottle greenhouse and the espalier wall but in April the ground will be wet so we’ll take you on a tour of the grounds to explain the buildings and philosophies associated with Blue Rock Station Sustainable Living Center.  You will tour the Earthship for an insight into how this structure uses the sun and the earth (as well as various bits of "trash") to create a warm and welcoming home.

The cost is $5 per person or $20 for a family of five or more for this event.  Tours will take place on the hour and be limited to 10 people per hour.  Cookies and tea will be available so you sit a spell.   So please reserve your spot early so that you will not be disappointed.   For reservations call us at (740) 674-4300, e-mail annie@bluerockstation.com
