NWAMN Weekly Update


NWAMN  Interpretive Group
 
Jennifer Hudgens, a NWAMN volunteer who played the Pileated Woodpecker recently in The Wizard of Hobbs program depicting forest damage and restoration efforts following the May 2024 tornado, assembled photos and interviews about the event. There was not enough time to show the full canva design at the meeting, so it is included here for the Chapter Membership to enjoy!
