Carolyn Kupec

Training Co-Chair

Why did I become a Virginia Master Naturalist? I am a native Northern Virginian, and while I have studied critters in Africa, Greece, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the American Midwest, before joining VMN I only had a basic understanding of the flora and fauna of my local area. I returned to Northern Virginia in 2015 and joined Merrimac Farm VMN in 2016.

Why am I joining the Board? I enjoy planning and organizing the curriculum for the Basic Training Course (BTC) and love interacting with the instructors we use as part of the BTC. I was previously the Training Chair for Merrimac Farm from 2017 to 2019 and volunteered to return.
