Meet Ginny Wood - Exploring MetroParks through Volunteerism
There are many reasons to volunteer, and in 2019 Ginny Wood decided she wanted to do new things with her life. Ginny wanted reasons to be outside and had been to some but not all of the MetroParks. She wanted to explore and learn more.
As a volunteer, Ginny has participated in a variety of opportunities especially many of the events like Bike to Work Day, Passport to MetroParks, the Wagner Subaru Outdoor Experience, and Make a Difference Day. She said she loves to learn and enjoys something simple or something new when looking for ways to stay involved. "I have the time and desire to do more. There is no reason not to give things a try. So many things are offered, anyone can find a spot that fits," she shared.
Ginny has her weekly routine to see what opportunities might interest her and has participated in Bluebird Monitoring, garden workday at Possum Creek, textile workdays at Carriage Hill, and program support for various educational offerings. She can regularly be found at the Hills and Dales workdays, and her newest opportunity: Volunteer Courier. Ginny said she had never been to the Celtic Festival and decided to check it out this year, and of course, volunteered with MetroParks hospitality for part of the time. Ginny said " I needed to get out and do things, and there have been things in this community all along that I had never been to. It took volunteering to get to some of these things."
Thank you, Ginny for your outstanding commitment, dedication, and service to Five Rivers MetroParks!
