Churchill, Manitoba, Canada

Churchill polar bear adventure is less than a month away & I am literally counting the days!
I have been doing extensive research and look forward to all that Churchill has to offer. Snow has been in their forecast, and after the hot summer we've had here on the east coast, I'm looking forward to it. I will be blogging along the way, as long as there is Internet access. There will be a link to my blog from http://www.artcnow.com as well. 
I've also been working on a book, "Life on Patcong Creek", with the subject matter in my own back yard. The book will not be all my own words as it will be a collection of information I've gathered along the way. Included will be the wildlife that exists here, the marine life, flora, history & I will be writing our current history so as to save our future generations some time on their research. Check out http://www.facebook.com & type in Patcong Creek in the search bar. There are a few variations, but mine has an eagle for the profile picture, then take a look at the photo album to give you a little preview of our creek.
This project came about from the environmental stewards class I took this past year through Rutgers University. It was held at the Atlantic County Utilities Authority in Pleasantville, NJ. We had to do an internship project for the completion of the class & to receive our certificate. I will be sponsored by The Great Egg Harbor Watershed Association & I will also be giving a program at their November meeting. I have learned so much from this class & I highly recommend it to anyone interested in our environment, its past & where it all seems to be going. Every week was with a different professor / instructor & subject matter. We had a great class & I made some awesome new friends & contacts along the way. http://www.envirostewards.rutgers.edu/
So check back for updates on all of this exciting news & leave comments as I look forward to hearing from you as well!
Much Peace, Love & Happiness & Be Well!
