Volunteer Spotlight
![]() |
Volunteer Spotlight recognizes the great people who volunteer their time with us at ReForest London. Each month we will feature one of our volunteers in the spotlight to give them a chance to share with us what volunteering means to them.
We are so blessed to have a diverse, talented, and expanding group of volunteers. Each individual brings his or her own experiences and skills to our organization, and together they form a mosaic of community support which helps us grow strong and sustainable.
As a non-profit organization, we simply could not achieve our goals without volunteers, and we appreciate each and every person who donates their time to help us keep the Forest in the "Forest City".
