Central Rappahannock Chapter Adopt-A-Highway

The next time you are driving along Lake Anna Parkway in Spotsylvania, don't forget to notice our new adopt-a-highway sign.

The Virginia Master Naturalist Central Rappahannock Chapter recently adopted this section of road.  We had our first road clean-up event on Saturday, February 2, 2013.  Ten volunteers braved the cold and traffic to help rid the county of trash and debris.  They made good progress, met other naturalists with similar interests, and had a very satisfying morning.

Volunteers - Please update your hours!

All volunteers are requested to update their hours on the Virginia Master Naturalist Volunteer Management System site.  Please do this even if you do not have enough hours for certification (40 hours). 

The hours we volunteer are proof to the agencies that sponsor the Master Naturalist program that the money and time they give to the  program are well-spent. The Master Naturalist program could be discontinued if these agencies and the state legislature feel that they are not getting good value.

Please have your hours entered by December 31, so they can be included in the chapter's year end report.
