Scores of volunteers participated in the 21st annual Conejo Open Space Trail Work Day that took place on October 15, 2011. There were two primary projects: trail building in the Sunset Hills area of Thousand Oaks, and projects for families and scout groups at the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden.

On September 18 our annual Volunteer of the Year party was held at the Kids’ Adventure Garden. Each year one or two volunteers are selected to receive the award. Jan Segal and Melvin Earley were recognized this year. Both Jan and Mel have volunteered in the garden for six years. Jan works faithfully on Thursdays in the propagation group. Mel works on Saturday mornings with the Saturday crew.

Delicious food was brought by the guests to share. Lots of visiting took place and new friends were made. It was an evening filled with cheer. Thank you to all our volunteers.
