Spotlight on Master Naturalist Volunteers

Erik Richards and Cara Gentry donated their time in February 2012 to march with staff, partners, and other volunteers of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program during the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival Gala Parade. Cara and Erik dressed as a zebra mussel and an emerald ash borer, and helped to hand out tattoos of invasive species along the parade route.
