From the Executive Director
Welcome
to A Tour of Rural Action, the 2004 Annual Report!
From the rolling hills to the creeks that we restore; from the farmers
and landowners we support to the children and adults we educate, you
will be amazed at Rural Action’s work throughout Appalachia.
In this annual report, we invite you to tour our organizational and
program accomplishments and recognize the people, funders and partners
that made it all possible. As you can see from the map inside, we
worked hard in 2004 to renew our communities and expand our reach
in the 29 Appalachian Ohio counties and the 13 Appalachian states.
Rural Action, in conjunction with those we serve, strives to bring
resources and people together to promote culturally rich communities
with healthy environments and thriving economies. Whether you plant
a tree, clean litter from a stream, hike a trail at the Research and
Education Center or attend a meeting or workshop, you will always
find dedicated staff, VISTAs, volunteers and partners working together
to meet that vision.
So sit back and explore Rural Action and our work over the past year,
and be assured this road map is just an introduction and an invitation
to the great work Rural Action is doing!
We hope that you’ll join us on our journey in 2005, and we thank
you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Jane Forrest Redfern
Executive Director
