Rare Care Volunteer Spotlights
Each year Rare Care recognizes volunteers for their outstanding contributions.
Mickie Chamness trained back in 2005 and has completed 17 monitoring assignments and contributed over 140 volunteer hours. We really appreciate Mickie’s contributions to the botany surveys at Two Steppe and Marcellus Shrub Steppe NAPs, and her monitoring reports each year are excellent. We are so lucky to have her on the monitoring team for so long! We also appreciate her efforts to promote our program in south central Washington.
John Stuart and Carol Mack joined the rare plant monitoring program in 2011 and have been incredibly active since then. You can find their names on 67 monitoring reports, each racking up over 440 volunteer hours. They are great company during the monitoring weekends and they have helped foster community within our northeastern Washington volunteers. They welcome any newly trained monitors to come join them for local adventures!
