Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are near a state park with trails for hiking , fishing or just enjoying nature.
You can learn about living off-grid, maintaining a battery bank, energy conservation and living simply.
There is no public transport available, we do however drive into Fairbanks once or twice a week.

We could utilize most any hands on physical help, mostly outdoors. Cutting and splitting firewood, painting, mowing, weed whacking and shoveling. Some small building maintenance, home improvement projects. Garden and compost work.
