Hello Friends,
Thank you for all you have done to support the Friends in this past year. We really appreciate you. And thanks to your support, we have even better plans for next year. We’re still hard at work finalizing our strategic plan for the future, but we know what its focus will be: Expanding the community of people who know about, care about, and volunteer to support the Abbott Marshlands.
It’s been an amazing year – we held our first successful fundraising event, we graduated our first class of Abbott Marshlands Ambassadors, we employed our first Interns, and we connected with community groups to spread the good word about the marshlands.
Our volunteers were spectacular! We had Welcome Team members greeting visitors at the Tulpehaking Nature Center, Outreach volunteers attending community events and interacting with the public, Stewardship volunteers monitoring existing trails, performing cleanups, testing waterways, and building walkways and re-routing existing trails.
We’re convinced. There is good work to be done here in the Abbott Marshlands – and there are people who care and will get involved. With your help, the work and the supporting community will continue to expand. Please be a part of our team. Contribute what you can today.
Sincerely,
Pat Coleman
