Honoring Lifelong Educational Ambassadors

The 2024 Feather Our Nest event will honor several of the lifelong educational ambassadors that have made a significant impact on the Forest. From 1974 through 1985 Fontenelle Forest's Chief Naturalist, Andy Saunders, shared his passion for the natural world through guided hikes, educational programs, and cultivating a team a knowledgeable volunteers.

Among the many people Andy inspired, were a group of seven Fontenelle Forest volunteers who created a database of the all plants, animals, and fungi found throughout the Forest and Neale Woods.
