Maureen dedicates these awards to fellow park interpreter, Lynya Vila who is healing and restoring at home with her family in Northern Michigan. Lynya is a former interpretive park guide for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources at the Oden State Fish Hatchery in Oden, Michigan. She is a locally-celebrated skilled folk artisan and used her innovative approaches in interpretation to pioneer the facility’s existing interpretive services program. Lynya remains one of the finest & most inspirational park interpreters ever recruited by the agency. She’s also the coolest naturalist we know; she named all of her sons after national parks: Jasper, Bryce, & William.
