Moving into the New Year
New Officers: Our new officers - all seasoned volunteers - bring knowledge, experience, enthusiasm and a fresh perspective to upcoming activities, events and monitoring.
Congratulations to Jim Hanna, President; Ruth Giles Ott, Vice President; and Jeanne Robinson, Secretary. And a thank you to members who participated in the nominating and voting process.
As we look forward to a new, more "open" year, consider volunteering. Many opportunities exist. Sign up on our Contact page or contact our Program and Education Chairman directly at gmorrissey@001@comcast.com.
State of WRNP Environment: The comprehensive Stewardship Report provides a foundation for 2022. To learn more about successes and challenges, please go to the Environment Page.
Activities: We've added a few activities this year, including monthly winter workdays and our new Dear Human audio 'walk. No weather is too cold if you're dressed for it, so join us. The number of activities will increase as the weather warms. See our Activities Page for an up-to-date listing.
Meetings: Our meetings continue to take place on Wednesdays at 7:p.m. every odd-numbered month and we try to keep them under an hour. While currently on Zoom, we hope to gather at Greenbriar Field House or Budlong Library in the near future. To request the sign-in link prior to a Zoom meeting, go to jhanna48@att.net.
