Two Cleveland Metroparks Naturalists received awards at the National Association of Interpretation (NAI) Great Lakes (Region 4) Conference Tuesday, March 22 in Newark, OH. Watershed Stewardship Center Naturalist Debra Shankland and Rocky River Nature Center Naturalist Jen Brumfield were honored by the NAI. Shankland received the Master Front Line Interpreter Award, and Brumfield was honored with the Outstanding New Interpreter Award. Both awards were each presented to only one Region 4 NAI member who has worked in their profession for at least five years. Shankland is a 21-year veteran of Cleveland Metroparks, and is based at the Watershed Stewardship Center in Parma. She leads watershed and conservation-based programs for diverse audiences on a daily basis, and is widely-regarded as a front-line interpreter by her peers. Brumfield has worked as a full-time Naturalist for Cleveland Metroparks since 2013, and as such has connected thousands of people to nature at both the Watershed Stewardship Center in Parma and at the Rocky River Nature Center. She is perhaps best known for her birding trips across Ohio's lakefront. In 2015, she was responsible for an award-winning post on Cleveland Metroparks Facebook, which reached over one million people touting a mass migration of Monarch butterflies at Wendy Park. Brumfield also has illustrated six field guides in The Fascinated Naturalist's Guide series, and has won multiple awards for the Birds of Cleveland Metroparks version. She currently coordinates the Birds of Prey weekend and the Steelhead Expo at the Rocky River Nature Center. -30-
