Brittany Bergmann, age 17, Champoeg State Heritage Area volunteer, assisted with the Junior Ranger program this past spring and summer. She also helped with several Champoeg special events, including Earth Day, State Parks Day, Free Fishing Day and the Bluebird Festival. Brittany helps organize the J.R. supplies, checks them periodically for replenishing, and photocopies forms when needed. Brittany has also dressed up as J.R. Beaver in several campground presentations and helped with many award ceremonies. "Brittany is an excellent leader and is working into a teaching role with the J.R. program," explains Tom Leisy, Interpretive Ranger Aide at Champoeg.
