Volunteer of the Year

Volunteers helped start the ENC and they continue to contribute a significant portion of the skills, time and effort required to run the Center. Yearly, since 1999 the ENC has recognized a volunteer who went above and beyond to support the ENC. We are very fortunate to have so many volunteers working with us to help meet our mission to provide quality education through hands-on experience with nature. It is difficult to single out a single person for this honor. We truly appreciate the effort of all of our hard working volunteers. We hope that by choosing one individual, perhaps as a representative of them all, that all of our volunteers see a little of themselves honored. Thank you all for your hard work!
