Greetings Wetland Supporters:
This is an important time of the year for the Association and referring to you as supporters is more important than ever. We all have a lot to be thankful for. For me, upon completing my first year as Executive Director of the Association, I feel that we have not only come a long way, but have a long way to go
For the Association, we now have three other part- time employees: a volunteer coordinator for our EPA-funded Volunteer Wetlands Monitoring Program; a project coordinator with our NC Land and Water-funded Stony Run Walkable Watershed project; and a grant administrator writer. We also made good progress on the implementation of our two funded projects and continued programs by our two volunteer-based committees.
While grant funding helps support our staff and projects, much of that funding does not cover our basic operation and the work of the Science and Program Committees. Our work with other organizations who are dealing with the State and Federal wetland protections requires consistent attention from our staff and there is no funding for that. What keeps these very important programs going is YOU, our supporters.
Please consider a generous donation as our work is more important than ever.
