This month we’re shining the volunteer spotlight on the generous and talented Carol Blackburn. Carol has been volunteering at the Nature Centre for over 2 years now, and we are SO lucky to have her on our team!
Carol has always been a nature lover and outdoors person, and her passion for nature shines through when teaching our school programs. Whether she’s exploring the touch tank with tiny tots or helping older learners use a scope on the wildlife viewing tower, Carol brings both joy and knowledge to her nature interpretation.
On the weekends you can often find her volunteering at the Centre during our open hours. She says, “Being involved in the community and being a part of the natural world around me is an integral part of who I am. I have had such an amazing opportunity to work with such knowledgeable people and am continually learning about this amazing area. It is a pleasure to share that information and appreciation of what a beautiful part of the world we live in.”
Carol, thank you for volunteering with us – we are so grateful for your time, energy, wisdom, and great attitude!
Below are some of Carols’ fantastic photos of estuary wildlife.
