Treva Pickenpaugh - Love of History and Community
Nearly 40 years ago, Treva Pickenpaugh first began volunteering at Carriage Hill MetroPark as part of the American Business Women's Association. The group would volunteer one weekend a month at the park assisting as Gate Greeters and at the Visitor Center desk. Over the years, Treva formed a connection to Carriage Hill through her passion for local history, her joy of interacting with community members, and her commitment to serving the public. After retiring from the Dayton Metro Library as Manager of the Huber Heights branch in 2009, Treva expanded her volunteering by serving as a board member for the Friends of Carriage Hill, selling penny candy and farm goods in the Country Store (closed in 2019), and assisting with events such as Christmas on the Farm. Today, Treva serves as a Carriage Hill Visitor Center Ambassador, where you can find her most Saturday afternoons.
Quote by Pearlie Brewer, Visitor Services Representative:
"Treva has been a faithful volunteer at Carriage Hill for many, many years. I have personally worked with her and observed her faithfulness over the past nine years, and she was here long before then. She assists in whatever capacity that she is needed.…when Treva is volunteering, she does more than just greet the visitors. She keeps the children's classroom in good order and watches out for children that may need to be reminded of how to behave in the Visitor Center. She is a class act."
Thank you, Treva for your outstanding commitment, dedication, and service to Five Rivers MetroParks!
