Homer AYEA (HAYEA)

About Us

The Homer AYEA chapter was founded in 2002. We helped establish plastics recycling on the Kenai Peninsula, and we set up recycling at Homer High School. During the summer, we have a plot in our community garden, and in spring we clean up a popular trail in our area, the Coalition Trail, which we may adopt through the Kachemack Bay State Parks System. Our chapter participates in Trails Day each June. We visit schools in Homer and throughout the Kenai Peninsula educating youth on recycling and global warming. The Kachemak Bay Conservation Society co-sponsors our chapter, and we have worked with KBCS as well as Cook Inlet Keeper, the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, and other groups on oil and gas issues and environmental education in the region. This year we will continue our work on recycling and participate in AYEA's 3-2-1 Campaign to combat global warming through personal actions

Get Involved!

We meet the first Sunday of the month at 11:00 a.m. at the Kachemak Bay Conservation Center, located on Ben Walters Lane

Week Without Plastics, April 21-25, 2008

Our summer plans include selling bags and having a painting-bag booth at the annual Street Fair in mid-July, as well as a Trails day in June where we go across the bay and work on trails. We're having a Do-It-In-The-Dark week this week and will help sponsor the bike to school week in May.
