Unsung Hero Award for Long Term Commitment and Accomplishments

The North Branch Restoration Project 2010

A long time North Branch volunteer, Eileen Sutter has contributed in many areas of our work.  She is a faithful steward at Watersmeet and also joins in on a lot of other workdays.

Eileen also does extensive monitoring for Plants of Concern in five different sites!

She has helped initiate the Saturday seed collecting group, the minute taking process at Ecoman meetings, and has helped develop the nature workshops, like the recent one on tree identification.

Eileen can be counted on to quietly help out in many ways.

Thanks for all you do!
