*Can you believe that our number of active volunteers has grown by an order of magnitude in the last five years?
*Did you know we now have 18 people who have achieved the milestone of 1000 hours of service, and one person who has achieved 2500 hours of service?
*Did you know that Virginia Master Naturalists helped save the Virginia Department of Forestry $5000 by helping with pine cone collection at New Kent Forestry Center?
*Virginia Master Naturalists completed more hours of education projects than any other project type!
*Chapters listed 2000 hours of volunteer activities at 18 DCR State Parks and 11 Natural Area Preserves on their 2010 annual reports. Their activities included education (interpretive programs, special events, designing and installing interpretive signs), citizen science (bird and butterfly counts), and stewardship (trail maintenance, habitat restoration, waterway clean-ups.) Volunteers also conducted projects at several VDGIF Wildlife Management Areas, five VDOF State Forests, the VDOF headquarters property, the VDOF New Kent Forestry Center, and the Virginia Museum of Natural History.
