Community Support & Input
By Laurie Danforth, Board President
It is not unusual to attend a gathering here in Vermont and meet people of fascinating interests. The person sitting next to you might be a genetic biologist, a children’s author, a mural painter, a forester, a chef, a computer expert, or a serious birder to name a few. In our lead article Bonnie Hudspeth clearly illustrates the diverse creativity of local Vermonters who are using maple syrup in new ways. This article points out the abundance of imagination with which we are surrounded. We at the Museum are eager to bring together people of diverse talents. Do you have a special area of expertise or knowledge from computers to travel to vegetable gardening to green building to teaching science and beyond that you would share with our wider community? It takes a “village” to keep a non-profit afloat in today’s economy and more and more we are all dependent on our invaluable volunteers. Please consider sharing your expertise or passion by becoming an active participant in your natural resource connection right here at the Nature Museum.
