Lorax Lodge was dedicated in October, 2009. 1235 people have visited to date. Due to inclement weather, the numbers have been slightly lower than anticipated. But, approximately 2000 students have been introduced to Lorax Lodge through my curriculum guide.

The pictures I posted are from the Lorax-Green Camp that was held about 2 weeks ago. I was asked by the Girl Scouts to lead several of the activities. It was really fun. About 85 five and six year olds attended and 60 adults.

I have been keeping my blog site up to date with monthly blogs. Check it out at www.visionisgreen.wordpress.com

I am so excited to let everyone know that Lorax Lodge has become a HOT spot in West Texas. "Green" workshops are being held in the center and participants are learning about our fragile environment. I have also started a BLOG site. My goal is to provide "Green" living tips for everyone to incorporate into their lives. I also listed all the people and companies that made a donation of gift or time in the building of Lorax Lodge. You can check out my blog site at www.visionisgreen.wordpress.com

I have recently broke ground. My website has been finised, www.visionisgren.org. We start compressing the blocks on Monday, March 16th. And by the end of the week we will have the walls put up. The ground has been leveled and i marked out a trail leading down from where the building will be put up. I got to drive a backhoe and i was scared out of my mind. Things have been looking up for my project and hopefully, things will go even smoother.

I have gotten a roof donated. I have also received over $84,000 in cash and donations. My community has backed me 100 percent and we are ready to break ground on March 1, 2009. The dedication is May 16, 2009. I have a website under construction, www.visionisgreen.org. It will be ready within the week so check-in for more info later and you can check back in to this site for pictures coming soon.

I had an incredible ribbon cutting ceremony and dedication on October 11, 2009. Over 70 people came out to help celebrate my Environmental Center, now called Lorax Lodge.

It is really exciting because there is so much enthusiasm about my project that I plan to develop other components. For example, I now want to start a drip irrigation system for the landscaping around my building.

I also plan to have a quarterly Blog on my web-site.
