In 2015, over 600 volunteers and docents were essential to the protection and maintenance of District open space preserves and to educating people of all ages about the many facets of open space preservation. While the overall value is beyond measure, the fiscal value of these donated hours once again surpassed the $500,000 mark!
The District will honor these incredible achievements at the September 24, 2016 Volunteer Recognition Event. This will mark the first recognition event held at the Cooley Landing Education Center adjacent to Ravenswood.
Congratulations on your numerous accomplishments and thanks again for everything you do to protect, restore and share open space!
