The AYF enacts several clean energy initiatives at Merrowvista and Miniwanca to better steward the natural environment. These initiatives included comprehensive winterization so buildings can be completely removed from the energy grid during off-seasons, construction of a solar hot water collector at Merrowvista, the installation of a small wind turbine for educational demonstrations at Miniwanca (2010), and the installation of a micro-hydro power generator on Bodge Brook at Merrowvista to reduce power demand onsite (2008-2010).
