OUR ENVIRONMENT

Presently, we are undertaking a feasibility study on generating hydro power from the river. The first indications are very positive and it looks as though will be able to generate excess electricity to our needs. It will take time but we are excited about the prospect of producing our own green energy and being able to contribute to the health of our environment. We have installed a heat recovery system and are planning to use solar panels.
