Our Welcome Center is managed by Chairo Shaffer. She has worked for the Watershed Nature Center since 2005, starting as a volunteer, then moving into the position of Education Director, and now serving as Office Manager / Volunteer Coordinator. Chairo has three young boys who have come to know the Watershed as an extension of their environment and enjoy the trails on a regular basis.
"There is something so special about this place and the volunteers who have made it all possible. I am blessed to work alongside and learn from a wonderful group of people who love and care about the Watershed and what it offers to the community as a whole."
