Meet Our Volunteers

These are profiles of some of the wonderful folks who have volunteered their time to help children understand and value their natural world.

Ken Pawloski, Volunteer Veterinarian

Dr. Ken helps our Critter Keeper, Lu-Anne, tend to the animals that live in Critterville.  When illness or injury strikes, he volunteers his time to diagnose and treat the animal.

Lucie Adams, Volunteer Gardener

Lucie helps Splash maintain the water-wise gardens that surround the Splash Education Center.  In all types of weather, Lucie can be found in the garden, pulling weeds and planting seeds!

Rosie Robles, Splash Club Volunteer

Rosie volunteers to help coordinate and recruit for Splash Club meetings.  She spreads the word about upcoming Splash Club meetings to her friends, co-workers, and people at her church.  This may not seem like much, but telling your friends about Splash is one of the most important things you can do to help.  Rosie also comes to Splash meetings with her twin boys and helps out the Splash staff.
