As part of the recent East Region Earth Team State volunteer coordinators
training, participants got a chance to restore dunes during a visit to
nearby Sullivan’s Island. A local Earth Team volunteer coordinated the
workday where attendees "walked the talk" by planting dune grass and putting
up sand fencing. This event attracted media attention as well with two
local newspapers and television stations arriving on the scene to report on the
volunteer coordinator's efforts.
The meeting theme was “The Spirit of America Shines through Volunteers.”
Volunteer coordinators from Vermont to Puerto Rico gathered to learn about new
ways to strengthen the Earth Team, enhance recruiting efforts, and how to enter
information into the new Earth Team volunteer database.
