Mary has been volunteering in the Lake Wales, Florida office since February 1996. Under this grant, Mary has worked as a volunteer to secure speakers for incarcerated young men on subjects ranging from archeology to anger control. Once a month, Mary, along with other adult volunteers, arranges and supervises a community clean-up or beautification project with these youths in an effort to begin their transition back into society. The observance provides us with an opportunity to thank our Earth Team volunteers. Volunteers can and do make a difference.
Professional communicators add a great deal of value to our country's conservation efforts.
The PCC also hopes to strengthen efforts for the recruitment, retention, and advancement of professional communicators. American Museum of Natural History Features NRCS Information - Beginning in May 1998, NRCS and its conservation programs will be featured at New York City's American Museum of Natural History. The permanent exhibit is being designed by the museum's Center for Biodiversity. Included in the exhibit are photographs of conservation buffers and captions noting how NRCS assists on private land through the various Farm Bill programs. The Center for Biodiversity is providing a link to the NRCS Homepage on the public use computer located within the exhibit area.
