Merry Leaflet

Merry Lea alumni: Where are they now? This issue tracks about a dozen former students who passed through Merry Lea in one way or another, to see how they have used their environmental training. Also read about a new volunteer training program and the annual turkey butchering.

Merry Lea's mission statement includes the desire to provide re-creating experiences for body, mind and spirit. In this issue, we look at the life of the spirit at Merry Lea, and the ways faith commitments have shaped the institution. Also read about Dr. Laura Yoder's arrival, Paul Steury's visit to the tar sands in Alberta, Canada, and our state tree: the tulip poplar.
