Erin and Brian Just with their twins, Kit and Tate, seeing their picture for the first time in the CEC’s new interpretive sign at the solar-compost shed at Charlotte Central School. The sign highlights how the interconnected initiatives on the site that have been worked on by volunteers over the last few years — solar power, pollinator garden, composting, bike rack — create a more resilient community.

    Below, the energy committee installed two perky bike racks close enough to the solar-powered electrical outlet that an e-bike can charge up while resting on the racks.

    Play in the playground, hike up Pease Mountain, or have a picnic in the pollinator gardens while you charge up at the community sun-powered outlet!
