Our Native

Orchids Project Update

By Virginia F. Thompson

t is great to be able to report on the success of the 2024
Native Orchid Repopulation Project. The installation in
IApril was the 3rd year of the project and was followed by
consistent watering by a great team of volunteers and is much
appreciated. We would like to thank all of those who helped
with the watering to assure the young plants got off to a good
start! Specifically…
Gina Berkendorf; Susie Butler; Deb Cleaver; Charlie Koster,Jr.
(earning service credits); Jodi Lotenberg; Steve Madden; Ann
Marie Moon; Ron Phillips; Siria Tatum; Virginia Thompson;
Gary Williams; Renee Yousefi.
With our RVCA president Lori Sterling and our orchid advisor
Rich Ackerman working on the yearly location and placements
of the plants, I can report success has been achieved again!
Looking forward to the 4th year installation this April!
Virginia F Thompson
Lead Volunteer and Organizer for the Watering Team
