Hello, I’m Dave Masten, board member for AFFEW, a 40-year old local environmental advocacy organization in Ludington, Michigan. AFFEW is at a crossroads, exploring what our community role and organizational structure will be for the next 40 years. As part of that discovery process we are exploring the need for and viability of a regional nature center. ANCA appears to be an important resource to help guide us in that exploratory process. We are looking forward to learning more about ANCA.
