MEET OUR VOLUNTEERS

National Volunteer Week will be celebrated April 27-May 3, 2008. The theme this year is "Conservation--Our Purpose, Our Passion, Our Volunteers--Lighting The Way!" Volunteers are the community who identify our resource problems, offer suggestions for improvement, and with whom we are sharing our technical expertise. With this partnership our accomplishments are unlimited. Thanks to our Earth Team Volunteers who continue to play a key role in conservation in Virginia.
