The Tidewater Master Naturalists are featured in the July/August 2015 issue of Tidewater Traveler, the magazine for AAA members. The article by Diane Daniel features our very own Marian Childress as she describes both the state program and our local chapter.

Marian listed some of our on-going projects. “While members can do any approved service work for certification, the Tidewater chapter also conducts its own projects, including monthly trail maintenance at First Landing State Park, invasive species removal at the Chesapeake Arboretum, assisting at Evelyn’s Wildlife Refuge, and helping various groups with oyster restoration.” That short statement highlights the variety of ways our members benefit the local natural environment.

As an added bonus, there is a photograph featuring Janet Schroeder educating the public at the Virginia Aquarium ray tank.

The websites for both the state program and our local chapter are included for interested readers.
