Burlington, Vermont USA • Handicap accessible tree house along Lake Champlain, in Oakledge Park. ☞ From the Burlington Parks and Recreation Department's website: The first handicapped accessible tree house constructed in a public park was recently completed in Burlington's Oakledge Park. The tree house is located in a large white oak tree and stands 15 feet off the ground. Access is provided from a hard surfaced walkway that connects to a series of ramps which wind through a rocky ledge. The final section of ramp brings the visitor to the base of the tree house. The tree house is located at the southern end of the park near the large picnic shelter and is available for use year round. The construction of the tree house was a cooperative project between the Burlington based non-profit organization, Forever Young Treehouses, Inc. and the City of Burlington. The mission of Forever Young Treehouses is to provide access to a treehouse experience to all regardless of physical, mental or financial restraints. Burlington Parks and Recreation Department is proud to be home to the first such treehouse of its kind in a public park in the country and we encourage residents and visitors to check it out!

Many of us have a love-hate relationship with our lawns. Although we enjoy the cool carpet of green grass to lie on and play on in summer, no one wants to spend hours every weekend mowing and trimming—not to mention battling weeds, insects, and fungus, and aerating, feeding, watering, and seeding. Turf lawns take a lot of time and money to maintain. They require the use of precious water resources to keep them alive, and the pesticides and herbicides we apply to them can damage the environment. More and more, people are turning to low-maintenance, no-mow lawn alternatives like meadows, rock gardens, and ground covers. These fresh options prove that you can have a beautiful yard without growing a single blade of grass. If that sounds right up your alley, check out these 10 no-mow alternatives to a grass lawn.
When we built the goat pen for our NIGERIAN DWARF GOATS, we knew that we eventually wanted to make it bigger as our herd grew. So we knew that whatever we did in regards to fencing, it had to be te…

When we found our off-grid compound, I assumed that I'd have to give up just about every power-consuming modern luxury. We went through our kitchen cabinets and tested each appliance with a kill-a-watt electricity usage
