Dear Coverts volunteers, Friends, and Partners,
A few newsworthy updates for you today – fall is a busy time for natural resource workshops, so the list of upcoming events is starting to grow! As always, this posting is available online anytime at Volunteers Working for Wildlife.
It was fun to read a recent Massachusetts Cooperative Extension article about our own Northwood Area Land Management Collaborative, started by Carl Wallman (CC05). While the NALMC slogan is “looking across our stone walls,” they are starting to get noticed across state lines as well!
Cheers! Malin
