Got this one too late for anyone to do anything about, but thought I would post it in case someone wanted to get involved down the line.
Personally, I'm burned out on participating with these groups, but I've told them that I would gladly promote their activities as much as I can.
Armchair volunteer is what I've turned into.
Hope others take interest. Even thought I've never met him I've been getting email from him for years. He's with the forest preserve district of Will County.
