Our Tribe’s Fortune 1,000 Hours – Nancy Riggs

07/03/2023 by mconnally

Nancy Riggs, 2021

“I love being a master naturalist and the Blackland Prairie Chapter is amazing.


There is always so much going on within the chapter and it is well run without being ‘over the top’!”

Nancy Riggs

Good morning! I just finished volunteering at Connemara. 

I volunteer at Hagerman on Tuesdays for the Bird Census and on Thursdays at Connemara. I am an avid birder so the Hagerman volunteering is a perfect fit. I am fascinated with land stewardship and feel it is extremely important work so Connemara is perfect for me as well.

I really enjoy not only all the knowledge gained but the friendships and camaraderie gained from volunteering. It is very rewarding accomplishing good with other like-minded individuals! 

Photos are Roadrunner from Hagerman (Mike Petrick photo credit), sphinx moth on American Basketflower, and me on tractor at Connemara.
