On any given day, there are myriad things to be done at Wesselman Woods—sweeping the walkways, repairing boardwalks, mulching the trails, cooking syrup, keeping an eye on the kiddos at the Nature Playscape, keeping the birdfeeders filled, caring for our animals, answering the phone, helping with a preschool class… I could go on and on.
It’s a busy place, getting busier all the time, with additional programs, activities, events, and increased number of visitors coming to check out the Nature Playscape. We have a remarkable staff that manages it all (most are part-time), and they rely heavily on the time and talent from our volunteers. Fortunately, with the help of our many volunteers, we are able to deliver the high quality programming and amazing facilities, while keeping the costs as low as possible. We are nothing if not responsible with our funding!
