Treasurer
Loree Scherck
Loree has always been a casual birder. When she got the opportunity to take the Master Birder class, she was very excited to take the next step and become a better birder. She is thrilled that Camden County now has its own birding group. There are so many places close by to see an amazing variety of bird life.

Amanda Carroll
Amanda grew up in upstate New York, where she first fell in love with birding. Birding has since been a lifelong hobby of hers. She is now a recently fledged Master Birder, and she runs an after-school Bird Club.
