Mammoth Cave Area Homemakers Enjoy and Protect Our Environment

Author: Janey Cline

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: Kentucky Extension Homemaker Association

Plan of Work: Developing Leadership and Volunteerism

Outcome: Initial Outcome

With over 1700 Homemakers in the Mammoth Cave Area there is a great need for volunteers who will first be willing to be trained and then to take the information back to their communities and clubs. Mammoth Cave Area agents host 10 Homemaker Leader trainings each year. Janey Cline, Family and Consumer Science agent for Hart County presented one such leader training about various birds in Kentucky and how to care for them in an economical environmental friendly way. To further increase the leader’s knowledge in regards to bird identification Ms. Cline worked in partnership with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife to bring a bird identification specialist to the training.

Ninety eight percent of members reporting felt the information given on how to use recycle materials to make bird feeders taught them how to save money while protecting our environment. This same clientele enjoyed learning more about the inexpensive, family friendly activity with mental health benefits.
