happily onto the trails of Red Rock Canyon. An average of sixty grants per year are
approved for Red Rock Canyon educational field trips. A retired teacher, she also
volunteers on the Membership, Special Events and Gift Wrap Committees.

Doyle Wayman – Milkweed Project

When Friends was awarded a two-year grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Foun-
dation to assist the monarch butterfly by replenishing the supply of milkweed plants
in Southern Nevada, Doyle took on the job of Project Manager. When he retired as an
architect in 2009, he committed himself full time to volunteering and working with
groups dedicated to making our environment better.

The newest friendly face in the Friends office is our new executive director. She began
volunteering with Friends in September 2013 at the Information Desk and in the Tortoise
Habitat. Kristi was the Grant Committee Lead for Friends before being hired as the Execu-
tive Director in August. Kristi holds a Masters Degree in natural resource management and
