“As a semi-retired person in Ashland, I find it a wonderful experience to volunteer for something you care about. I care greatly about the beauty of this area and protecting it. I also care about the people of Ashland. The Collaborative and its teams are made up of incredibly talented, smart, dedicated, fun, and funny people. Please consider joining us and lending your energy to help make a difference!”
