The Hostel is embracing alternative forms of energy wherever possible. Introduction of livestock has forced us to manage grazing areas within the forest and a portable, solar powered electric fence is being used to do this. Specific areas for underbrush control can easily be fenced off and the device is recharged by the sun light. A need for water at the new lake garden was addressed with a solar powered water pump. As we move forward, we will be introducing more solar-based resources for providing lighting and electricity to some of the tree houses.
