2010 will mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of Earth Day. Originally conceived by Senator Gaylord Nelson, the event was meant to remind us to stop and think about the amazing, yet fragile, planet on which we live, and possibly consider the ways that we can work to protect the environment around us. Today, that message is as important and relevant as ever, and Earth Day is celebrated across the globe in a number of cultures and countries.
This year, Earth Day falls on Thursday, April 22nd, and to celebrate Blue Waters Mountain Lodge, located on Lake Santeetlah, in the midst of the Nantahala National Forest is offering environmentally conscious travelers a chance to do their part to protect the environment while on a volunteer vacation.

Despite the freezing temperatures and the seemingly never-ending snow flurries, there are signs that the winter will not last forever and that spring is around the corner.
The first greens of daffodils have appeared around Blue Waters Mountain Lodge’s property and are peeping out from the frosty ground. Being the first of the spring flowers, they are taking full advantage of the light that is available on the woodland floor before the foliage of the trees and shrubs develops later in the year and puts them in shade.
So for now, let us all keep our fingers crossed, nothing lasts forever, Spring is coming.
