REI WORKSHOP SERIES FINISHES
The REI-funded workshop series finished up when ten new Volunteer Naturalists were welcomed into the Tualatin River Refuge volunteer family. Since January 2009, Refuge volunteers have been treated to 18 workshops led by subject matter specialists. Topics ranged from pond life to basket making to leading guided walks. Volunteers who participated in the workshops have given over 9,300 hours of their time, not to mention shared their knowledge and enthusiasm with visitors. Many thanks go to our volunteers for your participation and the gift of your time. Many thanks also go to REI for making these workshop opportunities possible!
