Redesigning Our Future

  What campers think of the mosquito larvae/ pupa hunting:? People in the mosquito group thought that their mosquito hunting went pretty well as far as finding big larvae and pupa. They did find it hard to determine whether a pool was new or old. A person in the mosquito group named Michelle explained that they were searching for mosquito larvae and pupa. In this group they were working on searching for mosquito "babies," and they did that by using dipping cups and skimming the little pools that had collected around the woods and had been made by precipitation and more.

Anna Harrison Anna Harrison - Making a Difference During a break between focus group and workshop time, Anna took a few minutes to describe an ongoing project she has already been working on back home.  Collecting 800 clear 2-liter bottles, some old tires, used corrogated plastic, donated rain barrel and worm bin, Anna is creating a greenhouse on school property for use by the after school program and third grade plant science class.  She is likely to far exceed the 80-hour requirement for her Girl Scout Gold Award.  Inspired by a chair and stand created from GS cookie boxes at her local GS headquarters, she researched other conservation projects online and discovered the work of Blue Rock Station, an organization with booklet instructions for creating greenhouses from used materials.  Be sure to check out Anna's blog for photographs and more information about her unique environmental project.
