The Sustainability Café on Monday, November 11th will feature Marguerite Wells presenting ”Blow, Wind, Blow: Community –Owned Wind Power in Tompkins County.” The Café will be held in Center for Natural Sciences Room 112 at 4:00PM, in conjunction with the Environmental Seminar. The Fall 2013 Sustainability Café/Environmental Seminar series is focused on the concept of “Citizens + Community = Healthy Environment.”
Marguerite Wells is a lifelong naturalist and co-founder of Motherplants Ltd, a green roof plant nursery here in Ithaca. She got involved in building a wind farm in the town of Enfield in 2007. What started as a part time volunteer position has turned into a full time job, totally self-taught, in wind farm development. She earned her BS in Animal Science from Cornell in 1999, and her MSc in Environmental Sustainability from the University of Edinburgh, UK, in 2001. She is currently the Project Manager for Black Oak Wind Farm, LLC.
