Many Master Naturalists worked long hours at the National Trails Symposium this weekend, and again on Monday and Tuesday. Our booth looked great with our new trifold display that the class of 2008 donated! All in all from what I have heard, the symposium was a success. A few problems and panic times but for the most part things went smoothly.
Over 250 volunteers helped with the event and I was proud that we were a part of those. CAMNers that I saw almost daily out there were Bert Turner, Bill Toland and Ann Owen and Tom Neale. Others who gave their time were Jonelle Doughty, George Lauster, Brenda O’Reilly, Katherine Becker, Vera Bowie, Linda Saylor and Jay Justice. Hopefully I haven’t missed anybody but if I did I have an edit button and will add you to the mix.
If you didn’t attend any classes or events, you really missed an opportunity to meet people from all over the world that have common interest in building good trails for all types of enjoyment. I met people from Korea, Canada, and all over the US and grew from their sharing. It was a fantastic event worth every moment of my time.
