Forest Friday: The Inspiring Nicole
Nicole is one of the hardest working people I have ever met. She works a full-time position at Dogwood Alliance and then volunteers an additional 30 hours in her “free” time.

This points to the fact that all of Nicole’s work is about enriching her community by meeting people where they’re at to help them achieve their highest goals.
Forest Friday: Me and Ali McGhee

She has always had a deep connection to the land in these parts.
