To whom it may concern, I am the middle school science teacher at Byron Center Christian School in Byron Center, MI (just south of Grand Rapids). We have lots of acreage (40+) and I'd love to start an arboretum out here with my students for our community to visit and to learn. I'd love to have someone to chat with about this and even to have someone come to speak to my students about an opportunity like this. Sometimes it's good for them to her someone other than their teacher. Thank you!

I thought I saw an ad for a Horticulture Zoom Webinar coming up in February. It was a series of 5 for $60.00. It was being done by professors . Can you send me a email about it or a link to click on.

What protection or rules are in place to protect a volunteer from being "fired" without cause? Is there any recourse or appeals for unjust/unknown cause of being fired as a volunteer?
