ROSEMARY MARTIN-JONES, RIDGEWAY
AFFILIATE REP TO NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION

WHY - I love the natural spaces found throughout the state and I want to help protect them. SCWF has wonderful programs; however, the audience is often limited. I would like to help SCWF educate more young people, as well as a more diverse adult population, about South Carolina’s wildlife and wild spaces, encouraging others to protect and conserve our incredible natural resources.
