Abstract:
Holy Mother of God Monastery in rural Granville County converted from electricity to wood as a fuel source. Led by Brother Jim, a monk at the monastery, the decision was based on economics and the desire to be more self-reliant. By taking fuel from nearby woodlands, the monks are ridding the forest of undesirable “green junk,” which includes diseased trees and undesirable species.
