Meet Doris J. Shaw

April Walker and her mother Doris J. Shaw are a dynamic greenway duo! April is one of our part-time outreach specialists who helps at events and programs across the region- answering questions, sharing project updates and handing out maps and greenway “swag.” After tagging along to several greenway events with April, Doris wanted to get involved too! She is now a trained volunteer Greenway Ambassador–representing Great Rivers Greenway at community events and assisting with other programs.

“I am so happy I was selected as a Greenway Ambassador! I enjoy working outdoors with my daughter and telling people about all the greenways. My favorite is St. Vincent Greenway at Ruth Porter Mall Park because it is close to my neighborhood, and I love walking along and reading the latest storybook.”
