OPERATIONS: <br /> Volunteers: <br /> • cannot be relied upon to perform the duties of paid staff. Are looking for social interaction as <br /> well as service opportunities.Volunteer groups may be able to perform specialized tasks, <br /> however(eg the 'Grumpy Old Mens'club who build things collectively,such as a new raptor <br /> cage at Westwood,Volunteers assembling and maintaining the WWII planes and helicopters at <br /> the History Center). <br /> • Warner Nature Center has had success in training adult volunteers for program assistance <br /> • Service learning for teens.Westwood (successful since 1990)and 3 Rivers has a successful junior <br /> naturalist program/youth leadership program. Treated like work where they commit to a <br /> certain number of hours, and have to get someone to fill in if they are absent. <br /> • Improvements to rental program not mentioned in the draft program, and they should be. <br /> The after-hours policy: <br /> • the gate locking at 5pm is'strange'. People need water and bathrooms to access after hours <br /> (canoes need to be locked and hawk secured). Also consider expanding staff hours to coincide <br /> with rental demands (ala Dakota County). Most other facilities have automated gate closure <br /> systems. <br /> PROGRAMMING: <br /> • Date night and beer has been successful for adult programming. Eg. Craft beer and <br /> mountain biking event. Candelight ski-beer and chocolate. Use licensed providors. <br /> Adults seem to come to outdoor recreation based events more than nature education <br /> events. <br /> • Dan Spock has found that his programming designed for millenials also attracts the baby <br /> boomers(eg. Retrorama, history of hip, off-site programs such as a history pub crawl). <br /> He tries to be extroverted in developing programming-network with other groups to <br /> come up with innovative/current programming, keep reciprocity in mind-how would <br /> both groups benefit mutually <br /> PHASING: <br /> + Phase 1: Curb Appeal/exterior improvements$70K,funding from Integrated Waste <br /> Phase 2: inside 2015 $100k <br /> • Phase 3:Tree house next 5 years—additional funding <br /> • Phase 4: connecting to the YMCA(5-6 years) <br /> • Phase 5: observation deck at the point—CIP <br /> • »»Near term (within 5 years) and Far term ( in 5 to 10 years) <br /> Wargo Nature Center Master Plan—July 15,2014 Peer Reveiw Meeting Summary 13 <br />
