As I've shared here several times over the years, I work for an outdoors education center in Lansing. Basically, it's my job to get kids outdoors, teach them about plants and animals, take them fishing, go canoeing, do some archery... it's a tough existence, but someone's got to do it, right? :)
Ok, so it's a little more complicated than that... We do school field trips and operate as a public park. And we do all of the above as a private non-profit, meaning we don't rely on tax payers, or a big parent organization. We survive by charging some modest fees, soliciting a lot of help and donations, and writing some grants here and there.
SO HERE'S THE POINT (and no, I'm not asking you for money!)
A visitor recently nominated us for a $5000 grant to address some much needed repairs. The grant will be awarded to the organization that gets the most votes on the Lansing State Journal's website.
If you all could take two seconds to visit the site, and vote for the barn project at Woldumar Nature Center, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

If you have any questions about the organization or the project, please fire away!
