Cornell Cooperative Extension Community Horticulture

Thank you volunteers and volunteer program coordinators for a terrific 2006!

The full 2006 MGV report is available at: www.gardening.cornell.edu/education/mgprogram/

In 2006, over 2,200 active Master Gardener Volunteers (MGV) spend more than 102,000 hours working to bring gardening success to New York State citizens and communities. That volunteer time is equal to 56 FTEs (full time equivalents) and is estimated to be worth more than $1.8 million to the outreach effort of Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE).

Through their service MGV helped CCE make more than 156,000 direct citizen contacts. That averages out to 70 direct citizen contacts per MGV.

Thank you for your support in helping Master Garden Volunteers continue their success in NYS communities.

Sincerely,

Lori Bushway

State Leader of CCE MGV program
