Stories from the Hollow — Elena Cindrich

“I’ve been coming to Fern Hollow since I was little for field trips and volunteering. I volunteer because I love helping out in the community and seeing the impact I can have on places around me.

The programs here have always been really intriguing. I remember a lesson on maple syrup and maple trees where we got to walk around and see the maple syrup being collected. All the lessons have been so interesting and I wanted to keep learning more about the outdoors. 

I love the sense of community. There’s always people here doing what they love.”
