Volunteer Spotlight: Ken Evanchuck

A lifelong outdoorsman and lover of nature, Ken Evanchuck first joined the MetroParks volunteer team as part of our controlled bowhunting program. Once he learned that bowhunters who give 25 volunteer hours annually are guaranteed a spot in the program and can then bypass the lottery drawing, Ken began looking for additional volunteer opportunities. With his friendly demeanor and gift of gab, Ken was a natural fit for an Ambassador role. Learn more about Ken's experiences as a MetroParks volunteer here in this month's Volunteer Spotlight!
