#WeAreAmeriCorps

“Every project that I have done or am doing depends on community involvement. Some of the work that we do — such as the Tuscarawas River tree planting — is on private property, so we need the support of the farmer and landowner along with local community members and organizations in order to raise money and have a successful planting. Water quality is something that affects everyone. No one person can make or know about every improvement that is needed, which is why community is vital to the service that I do.”
