Thank You, Mother Earth

I was born with an urgency to offer care, both for people and nature, for all the living. My parents also, partly from their culture, partly from their lifestyle and pioneering nature, are also of the conservation, life-giving bloodline. I am grateful to be in an environment like White Eagle where there are endless opportunities to show gratitude and give thanks!  Here are some of the efforts we have made at the resort over the last 28 years. Thank you Mother Earth!

  • The shore line erosion project has significantly slowed if not stopped the various eroding areas along the shoreling. New plants and trees are growing and we are seeing more wildlife (last year a beaver) than in recent years.
  • In 2017, we invited a DNR officer to observe our property and she gave us a glowing report highlighting our care for our property.
  • We've moved to using almost all natural, non-toxic cleaning products in the cabins. Our favorites include Dr. Bronner's, and, new this year Thieves all purpose cleaners.
  • Our fish gut composting system has been in place almost since year one! 
  • A few years ago, Stephanie introduced chickens to the White Eagle property. What fun and inspiration these free rangers have offered their caregivers and onlookers.
  • We've cut our lawn mowing hours by more than half by turning grassy yard into tree beds and leaving a lot of the natural plants to grow rather than cropping them for a manicured look.
  • We've planted several thousand trees on the property. We've mulched them with wood chips and never watered them! They are doing well and we are excitingly watching them grow.
  • We've replaced other grassy areas with native grasses and wildflowers.
  • We repurpose as much as we can.
  • We use small wood for kindling.
  • We use our leaves as fertilizer.
  • We post old appliances, equipment and furniture for the community to pick up rather than taking it to the dump.
  • We've recycled thousands of pounds of cans, plastic, glass and paper over the years.
  • We compost food scraps.
  • We shop at the thrift store and donate items we no longer need.
