As we ski/sled/snowshoe/(insert your preferred winter activity) into the new year, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to our end-of-2019 membership drive! Your investment will help us implement a long list of projects and programs in 2020: the WRP team is busy planning for river-side tree plantings (3,700 stems and counting!), a culvert replacement, a dam removal, a floodplain & wetland restoration, and three river corridor easement projects plus water quality monitoring, White River Water Trail stewardship, school-based education programs, and more! See the News & Events section below for a snapshot of the WRP's work in January.
I also want to say THANK YOU to all of the landowners, volunteers, stewards, school groups, businesses, towns, technical partners, and funders who made our 2019 work possible. We welcome inquiries about opportunities to get involved in 2020, and will highlight upcoming events and volunteer opportunities in this monthly e-newsletter and on our website, Facebook page, and Instagram page.
Finally I'm looking forward to the kick-off of our winter fundraising dinner series at 5 Olde Tavern in South Royalton on Monday, January 27 and hope to see many of you there!
Sincerely, Mary Russ, Executive Director
