Volunteer of the Year: 
Al Pak

As we see the field season come to a bittersweet end, we want to highlight one volunteer, of whom has been apart of the WEN family for nearly 10 years now, who ensured the success of our Sunday Citizen Science Stream Team by joining us for nearly every outing! The lovely Al Pak! Al has been the backbone to everything macroinvertebrates at WEN, and has volunteered time this season to lead Stream Teams macro collection and ID station where volunteers collect and identify 300 bugs per field session. Thank you Al for all your help this year and in the past!

Love, 

The WEN Team
