Volunteer of the Month- Deborah Chappell
“”I enjoy volunteering because of the people, the plants and the mission! I have met such good friends in this organization with our common interest in nature and plants […] The Extension mission of education is met by first educating myself through books, seminars, workshops, talks then bringing it out to the community through Nature at Home. So proud to be part of this group educating the public about why and how to support wildlife on our properties.”
