Volunteer of the year:
George Weatherston Selected
This year's volunteer of the year has been with Tamarac just over 4 years. With his soft-spoken, friendly manner, he has effectively promoted the refuge and its mission.
As a Roving Ranger and Tour Guide he has taken the time to learn about Tamarac’s natural and cultural resources and shares that knowledge with many visitors. He has also made recommendations to the Tamarac staff on upgrades to both the Visitor Center Trail and the Old Indian Hiking Trail. In the past year, he has represented the refuge at the Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds, written articles for the Tamarac Interpretive Association Newsletter, become a TIA board member and is serving on the publicity committee. He is always willing to help out in any way, whether it be cleaning up the kiosks or picking up trash.
Traveling from Fargo to spend time in a "national treasure" is one of Tamarac's treasures, George Weatherston. Congratulations, George – our 2004 Volunteer of the Year!
