Program: “A Volunteer’s tour of Yosemite National Park”
Presented by Orlando Garden Club member, Ruth Heine. She and her husband volunteered in Yosemite
National Park for eleven years, from May thru October. Ruth will discuss the many plants and animals
living in the park, including the giant Sequoia trees, water falls, bears, coyotes, birds and meadows. She
will also share her adventures as a park volunteer living off the grid in a 30 foot fifth-wheel RV. As
volunteers, Ruth and husband John supported many wide-ranging activities, to name a few: shoveling
ash from fire rings, rebuilding the horse stables, building picnic tables, camp ground hosts, grant writer,
mother and father of the bride and frequent problem solving. Best of all, they lived among extraordinary
natural beauty, experiencing the diversity of Mother Nature’s offerings in Spring, Summer and Fall.
