Nancy Brennan began volunteering in 2010 assisting with the Ecological Classification System project. With her botany background, it was a perfect fit. She worked alongside our expert contractor in the field mapping, collecting, and recording data Tamarac’s plant species. Having spent time working with children as a librarian, she soon shared her love of nature with local children by becoming a member of our environmental education team. She has guided students as they explore through the lens of a camera, as they “meet” trees on a hike or document their findings in a mini bio-blitz. During the last couple of summers, visitors have enjoyed her passion for plants as well by attending her Wildflower Walks and Tree Treks. Nancy is a certified master naturalist and is always willing to enhance her skills and knowledge by attending workshops. She is a Friends board member and is active on several committees including the Newsletter, Naturalist, and she chairs this year’s Fall Festival committee. She has also been very involved with the Discovery Center Capital Campaign. Last spring she went above and beyond assisting the gift shop committee in preparation for two very important events- the Festival of Birds and National Trails Day. Nancy’s dedication to the refuge is amazing!
