South Platte Park Recognizes Volunteers

Budding Blossom Award 2013
for a new volunteer
with exceptional potential 
And a good time was had by all at last night's South Platte Park Volunteer Recognition Dinner. First dinner, then awards, then a fantastic trip down memory lane by a family of four, including their then-11-year old son (Jesse) and 13-year old daughter (Hannah), of their 6-month trip to train conservancy leaders and help residents in Kenya, China, and Nepal. Just WoW! Thank you for sharing.
The Carson Nature Center is a well-kept secret. To the staff, volunteers, and hundreds of visitors who annually enjoy the area - run, bike, walk, walk dogs, and oh yeah partake in Nature (with a capital N) - and the kids brought in for school programs, it's no secret how marvelous the environment is. The staff and volunteers are working like crazy to keep it that way, share, and maintain the natural wonder. Put this on your must-get-done-list for every year: visit South Platte Park and the Carson Nature Center once a month. Better yet, enjoy the public programs and tell your school to participate in the school programs. And even better - volunteer - even if it's only 5 hrs/month. Just do it! Take it from me - the 2013 winner of the Budding Blossom Award (I've come a long way from the note on my 6th grade report card: "...is content to do the minimum") - get yourself over to South Platte Park. You'll be glad you did.

Your mission: Visit for the nature, stay to volunteer.
