It has been a real pleasure to spend the past year working at the Johnson Creek Watershed Council. When I signed on as JCWC’s latest AmeriCorps member I didn’t know what to expect, I only know it would be like nothing I had done before. It was a year of staff changes, and for the wider community, which was slowly emerging from the pandemic lockdown. Despite these challenges I found it to be a rewarding twelve months. The staff at JCWC are warm, welcoming, and a delight to work with – as you will know if you have ever had the pleasure of doing so. But the greatest pleasure was working with you. – the JCWC community. From our government partners to out fellow community organizations to our many volunteers, it was an honor to work with each and every on of you. I was continually humbled by the passion and dedication you brought to the task of caring for your creek and for each other. As I leave my AmeriCorps term behind, I take with me many fond memories of the wonderful people and places that make Johnson Creek Watershed Council what it is. Thank you!
