As you walk ALONG THE TRAIL, you will see the many wonderful people and projects/activities that this chapter is engaged in. Each member hopes that the footprints they leave behind contributes to the overall good of nature and becomes not only a part of the chapter’s history, but a part of the larger picture that educates others as to how they can contribute as well.
These pages show our mission-“To develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities.”
You can visit our “old” projects page here.
