Greenhouse Underway at Cloudcroft Schools

The greenhouse project is finally underway inside the bus loop at Cloudcroft schools. Purchased with funds from the A+ for Energy Grant sponsored by BP, volunteers started pounding stakes into the ground this past fall. Then came the BIG freeze...and the only thing harder than pounding stakes into rock is pounding stakes into frozen rocks. Now that things have thawed out, we will once again be rounding up volunteers to beat more stakes into the ground.

Volunteer John Manford and volunteer/science teacher Jean Davis are starting to piece together the greenhouse.

Solar Heated Greenhouse Talk

Jim Money will be giving a presentation at the Alamogordo Public Library this Thursday, January 21, 2010, from 6pm-7:45pm about his solar heated greenhouses. Jim is also a great source for local-grown produce, which he delivers in the Alamogordo area each Wednesday.

Another School gets a Greenhouse

I know this isn't Cloudcroft, but since the project seems similar to ours I thought I'd link to it:

UPDATE: The Alamogordo Daily News links don't stay up for long, so the above link doesn't work anymore. You could get the article from their archives, though.
