In these times, days and weeks seem to be blending into one another more than many of us may care for. Perhaps that makes it more important than ever that we take the time to recognize days of designation. Earlier this week, we celebrated Earth Day, and today, MCWC would like to give a shout out to all our volunteers in honor of National Volunteer Appreciation Week, which ends this Saturday.
What MCWC Volunteers Accomplish:
In 2019, 81 individuals donated 316 hours of their time and energy with MCWC at 20 restoration events-- be they Planting Parties, Invasive Species Removal days, and the Siletz River Clean Up. While we have only been able to host 3 volunteer events in 2020, 29 individuals came out to these to donate 79 hours.
In addition to these volunteer boots on the ground, MCWC also has amazing volunteer board and committee members that are the brains behind this bus. Representing diverse stakeholder groups, they work to build consensus and donate too many hours to count to govern this organization so that we deliver high quality restoration projects, and are now learning with staff the ins and outs of how to keep things running from afar.
To all our volunteers, we can't say thank you enough!
