The Master Gardener Volunteer Report for 2005
In 2005, nearly 2,300 active Master Gardener Volunteers (MGV) throughout New York State spend more than 100,000 hours working to grow individuals, families, communities and environmental stewardship through gardening success. That volunteer time is equal to 55 FTEs (full time equivalents) and is estimated to be worth more than $1.7 million to the outreach effort of Cornell Cooperative Extension.
Through their service MGVs helped CCE make more than 150,000 direct citizen contacts. That averages out to about 68 direct citizen contacts per MGV.
