Leslie and Walt Krater
As members of the Conservancy for nearly 40 years, Leslie and Walt Krater truly understand every person’s important role in caring for the natural environment. For nearly 25 years, the active couple has enjoyed spending time with other WPC volunteers and staff stewarding some of our 45 preserves.
How did you become involved with WPC?
First we were land stewards for Bear Run Nature Reserve, but have volunteered for work days from Crawford County to Bedford County.
How long have you been a volunteer with us and what motivates you to stay involved at WPC?
Our three children have volunteered along with us while growing up over the years, which helped them fulfill school volunteer service and scouting requirements.
What would you tell someone who is interested in volunteering with WPC?
Working with and getting to know the various WPC land steward coordinators and assistant coordinators over the years has been an added bonus. Their knowledge and dedication to the environment have enriched our lives.
What do you do when you’re not volunteering?
The following lists some of the ways you can volunteer at the Conservancy. We welcome volunteers to help in our community flower gardens, plant trees or maintain our preserves and trails, among other tasks. View a list of our current or upcoming volunteer opportunities and register for one today.
