SACO, Maine For the first time since they began in 1998, The Ecology School has a permanent home. They traded in their rented spaces and for the last six years have been working to build a $14.1 million green campus at River Bend Farm, which opened in April. Every day will be Earth day at The Ecology School, President Drew Dumsch said.
The new facility features three dorm houses and a dining hall completely powered by more than 700 solar panels which create 105 percent of the energy they need. They will collect and use rainwater to water their gardens and eventually want to grow all their own produce and are looking into raising their own livestock.
