Monongahela National Forest partner Kaila St. Louis is the most recent recipient of the Forest Service’s 2021 Eastern Region Volunteer and Services Award in the category of cultural diversity.

She has created a unique living history program showcasing mid-1800s Appalachian life. Each season an estimated 50,000 people visit the farmhouse, gardens, and apple orchard that she and her husband, Larry Arnold, who is also a volunteer, maintain. Stop by the Sites Homestead this summer to meet her and see the heritage garden and homestead. Learn more about visiting the area at https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mnf/recarea/?recid=7052.
