At the Heritage Park Petting Farm, we want to get our energy from things that do not make the planet dirty, and can be used over and over again. This is called renewable energy. To use renewable energy at the farm, we have installed solar panels to get energy from the sun, and a wind turbine to get energy from the wind.
When we come to your school for a Renewable Energy Assembly, or when you visit the farm for a Renewable Energy Field Trip, you will see how renewable energy works, be able to participate in cool activities, and learn how you can be a Planet Protector.
Kids have the big responsibility of being Planet Protectors. Planet Protectors are people that really care about our environment and make an effort to keep it clean.
