Tour Middlebury College’s combined heat and power biomass gasification system and 10 acre pilot willow site
(harvested this past January) with Jack Byrne, Director of the

Environmental Affairs. The tour will begin at the Franklin
Environmental Center with an overview and proceed to the willow site
and then the biomass plant. The plant is scheduled for maintenance
close to the tour date and may not be up and running but the tour will
still be given as most of what there is to see will be the same as when
running.
A fee of $10 will be charged to partially cover the cost of transportation. It can be paid through the Registration page.
PLEASE REGISTER ON-LINE as we need an acccurate head count for box lunches and buses.
