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. Building maintenance, home improvement projects. Garden and compost work.
