Virginia Master Naturalist volunteer Connie Hylton (right) received her 1,000 service hour pin from Rick Watson (left) Blue Ridge Foothills and Lakes Chapter President, in November 2018. Photo by VMN-BRFAL Chapter. The VMN program recognizes volunteers who complete 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 7,500, and 10,000 hours of service. These are cumulative volunteer hours starting when a volunteer joins the program. To offer some perspective, a volunteer who does the 40 hours of service annually to maintain status as a Certified Virginia Master Naturalist would take 6-7 years to achieve the 250 hour milestone and 125 years to achieve the 5,000 hour milestone!
Below, we have listed the volunteers who have achieved these milestones between August 2018 and January 2019 (based on reports received by our chapters as of January 31.) Some of these volunteers have demonstrated long-term dedication through many years with the program. Others have joined the program more recently, but they have done extraordinary levels of service in a short time frame. We are honored to have all of them sharing their time and talents as Virginia Master Naturalist volunteers, and we are pleased to recognize their efforts in this newsletter and with special milestone pins. Their names are listed alphabetically within each chapter.
In addition, although we cannot list them all here, we are thrilled to recognize the 1,400 Virginia Master Naturalist volunteers who certified or re-certified for 2019, meaning they completed 40 hours of volunteer service and 8 hours of continuing education. Congratulations, everyone!
Thank you to Tiffany Brown, VMN project assistant, for compiling these lists!
