The annual Summer Volunteer Appreciation BBQ was held on September 1st this year. The weather was nice and warm despite the September date, and we were able to celebrate on the Forest Society's back deck with its views of the Merrimack River floodplain and state house in the distance. This event is held each year to recognize and celebrate all of the amazing and varied work that the Forest Society's volunteers do for the organization each year. From land stewards working on their adopted reservations, to green building tour leaders, to the "stuff it" club that helps with getting out large mailings... all our volunteers are essential to the success of the organization in meeting its goals.

This year we honored Rhoda Mitchell with the Trish Churchill Volunteer of the Year Award, presented annually to a volunteer who has given exceptional service over the past year or years. Rhoda has been caring for the many plants inside the Conservation Center, quietly, expertly, andpersistently, for more than a decade! We were glad to be able to recognize her contribution after so many years of service, and hope that she will continue to have a hand in making the Conservation Center a more beautiful place to work and conduct the business of land conservation for many years to come.
Here's the press release from the Forest Society's website about Rhoda's award if you're interested!
