Introduction਍ഀ This year, the Vail Nature Center celebrates its 35 h year of operation. We wish to mark this historic season with਍ഀ a project that conveys the Vail Nature Center's continued relevance to environmental education and outdoor਍ഀ recreation while creating the potential for a wider variety of programming and increased visits.਍ഀ 11. Objective਍ഀ To install a Growing Dome Greenhouse at the Vail Nature Center. A Growing Dome is a geodesic dome਍ഀ greenhouse which enables year-round high-altitude gardening without (or with minimal) consumption of fossil਍ഀ fuels. This greenhouse space would serve as an innovative, hands-on educational space with an interesting਍ഀ "look" to attract visitors to the Vail Nature Center.਍ഀ III. How this project meets VNC goals and mission਍ഀ • The current greenhouse is not large enough to use as an exhibit or educational space; a Growing Dome਍ഀ is large enough for approximately 12 people to walk through with wall and floor space for displays and਍ഀ posters (in addition to garden space).਍ഀ ■ The greenhouse can be used to educate on a large variety of topics including high-altitude gardening,਍ഀ organic gardening, local food, hydroponics, what plants need, and solar energy. It can be used as a਍ഀ vehicle to teach about global issues such as carbon footprints, water shortages, and food production.਍ഀ ■ The VNC already has an excellent hydroponics unit that needs to be displayed!਍ഀ ■ The innovative design of the greenhouse itself serves an educational purpose; people can learn about਍ഀ energy efficiency, solar power, and green construction by learning how the Growing Dome functions.਍ഀ ■ The Growing Dome would be an interactive and hands-on exhibit; something the Vail Nature Center਍ഀ prides itself in and visitors love. Gardening creates possibilities for children's activities (Camp Eco Fun਍ഀ especially) and volunteerism.਍ഀ ■ The Growing Dome is unique and interesting-looking, which may make the Vail Nature Center more਍ഀ appealing from a marketing perspective and attract more visitors who see it from afar. A greenhouse਍ഀ also offers the appeal of growing gardens that change on a daily and annual basis. It would invite਍ഀ questions, which would engage visitors more closely with staff who could in turn communicate about਍ഀ other VNC programs.਍ഀ ■ The current greenhouse is in disrepair and is in a bad location for growing. We would like to fix-up the਍ഀ existing greenhouse and use it for the less "attractive" gardening stages, i.e. starting seedlings and਍ഀ mixing fertilizer/compost.਍ഀ IV. Specifications (size, location, etc)਍ഀ Growing Domes come in many sizes; we feel we only need one large enough to serve as an exhibit space. The਍ഀ desired Growing Dome specifications are:਍ഀ ■ 18 ft. diameter਍ഀ ■ 250 square feet of floor space and 10' tall਍ഀ ■ Location: south side of existing outdoor garden beds in open field. No tree or shrub removal required.਍ഀ Should not change character of area or diminish any vistas.਍ഀ ■ Built to withstand harsh, high-altitude winters, including wind, hail, and snow਍ഀ ■ Photovoltaic (solar) panel which automatically opens window vents at preset temperatures and can be਍ഀ used to run water pumps for a hydroponics system or cooling fans.਍ഀ ■ Will not require external power source or emit light or create emissions.਍ഀ ■ Does not require a concrete foundation and is designed to be easily disassembled. Sits on a gravel base.਍ഀ ■ Can be installed by 2 people, but is a good "volunteer day" project.਍ഀ ■ No effect on vehicular traffic, utilities, or other public facilities.਍ഀ a਍ഀ U-਍ഀ E਍ഀ 2਍ഀ Co.਍ഀ o਍ഀ m਍ഀ U਍ഀ o਍ഀ (7਍ഀ c਍ഀ :3਍ഀ m਍ഀ U਍ഀ cc਍ഀ d਍ഀ _਍ഀ >਍ഀ @Soo਍ഀ N਍ഀ t0਍ഀ 2਍ഀ .0਍ഀ 0਍ഀ 0਍ഀ LL਍ഀ 0਍ഀ U U਍ഀ tN9 c਍ഀ _ L਍ഀ U਍ഀ 0 X w਍ഀ W CO c਍ഀ LL c਍ഀ 3਍ഀ Q N - Q਍ഀ W cu 0 o਍ഀ LL = LL r਍ഀ O਍ഀ OLL 22਍ഀ •਍ഀ w 1਍ഀ 1 z਍ഀ 1 1਍ഀ 1 1 1਍ഀ 1 1 ~਍ഀ ® 11਍ഀ II਍ഀ II਍ഀ II਍ഀ ~I਍ഀ ~I਍ഀ I਍ഀ I I਍ഀ I I਍ഀ I਍ഀ I਍ഀ I I਍ഀ I I਍ഀ I਍ഀ I਍ഀ I I਍ഀ I I਍ഀ I਍ഀ L਍ഀ O਍ഀ U.਍ഀ r਍ഀ c਍ഀ 1਍ഀ 4 I਍ഀ d਍ഀ Y਍ഀ Vail Nature Center Greenhouse Proposal਍ഀ 'F਍ഀ i' ~ylk { Y` r 1~~.਍ഀ j.਍ഀ T J਍ഀ p dam,; s਍ഀ Aerial view of proposed greenhouse location਍ഀ 4t P;~਍ഀ S-:਍ഀ 51W r•਍ഀ x਍ഀ a t `਍ഀ s`rr vk s tv _ mar,਍ഀ Vnllr%XA stalre :mtll be the center਍ഀ > `v਍ഀ i਍ഀ l਍ഀ 5 ~ 4਍ഀ j e਍ഀ i਍ഀ tt q . ~l -਍ഀ ,਍ഀ i਍ഀ Y I_ {਍ഀ 'I਍ഀ ru਍ഀ c਍ഀ 1 i਍ഀ i਍ഀ P '਍ഀ Vail Recreation District਍ഀ r-.਍ഀ Nature Center Geosphere਍ഀ Vail; Co਍ഀ t V਍ഀ t~ {y਍ഀ tv"਍ഀ (4D t਍ഀ ~Oa਍ഀ f - q਍ഀ n 4 h'_਍ഀ 5਍ഀ i_ _T•ti~1 t% 1 A਍ഀ to਍ഀ A unique combination of seven features make the Growing Romer"਍ഀ the most energy-efficient greenhouse on the market today)਍ഀ 'temperature activated vents਍ഀ Photovoltaic solar panel਍ഀ Solar ventilation fan਍ഀ 1~>ti ~31Y਍ഀ Insulated Door਍ഀ •,o, Shown;਍ഀ Undersoil insulation installer h..਍ഀ More information available at http://www.geodesic-greenhouse-kits.com/.਍ഀ V. Plan of action/Upkeep਍ഀ ■ The Vail Nature Center has staff and volunteers who are willing and able to install the Growing Dome,਍ഀ and we may be able to arrange for a Growing Spaces staff member to help supervise and help for free.਍ഀ ■ Current VNC staff and volunteers are already maintaining a regular garden and hydroponics garden; they਍ഀ would continue to maintain the Growing Dome through the fall with the possibility of winter gardening.਍ഀ ■ The Growing Dome is built to handle large loads of snow and therefore would require only minimal਍ഀ winter maintenance.਍ഀ Growing Spaces, LLC.
