We are very pleased to announce that Maureen McGarry will serve as the new Volunteer Trail Steward Coordinator succeeding Rachael Garcia. Maureen’s history with the program began in 2013 when she worked closely with the Arcata VTS program in the Community Forest. Many volunteers remember the wonderful hot meals Maureen prepared in the middle of the forest for a number of years. Maureen will work closely with the volunteers and crew leaders of the ten VTS programs. Welcome back, Maureen.
In her other life, Maureen is an artist, a teacher, and a community activist. Her recent work from an art residency she completed in Ireland will be shown at the Morris Graves Museum in May.
