Naturally Kiawah Magazine Volume 34 | Page 59

Making a Magazine I t most definitely takes a village to produce a magazine. At Naturally Kiawah we are fortunate to have contributors who have the incredible talent and energy to develop articles that not only support the Conservancy’s mission but are interesting and informative as well. Our writers, artists and photographers have what it takes to create an award winning publication. Working with them and supporting them in every way is a hard working office staff and a diverse board of trustees. We are also fortunate to have the assistance of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, The Town of Kiawah Island and the Kiawah Island Community Association. NK Jack Kotz chairs the Conservancy’s Environmental Science Committee and is a devoted “alligator guy.”His articles make science understandable and his extraordinary photos bring it to life. Jane Iwan is a doubly talented contributor. Her beautiful paintings have illustrated our articles, and her writing captures the magic of our natural habitat. Paul Roberts has held every possible leadership position on Kiawah Island. He is our “go to” birdperson, always ready to write and guaranteed to produce great photos. Frances Boyd is a former teacher and school principal who also taught teachers at the College of Charleston. She is a frequent contributor and versatile wrtiter. Tina Schell, our Associate Editor, is a woman of many talents. She edits, writes, and brings the best photography every single month. Aaron Given, Town of Kiawah Assistant Wildlife Biologist, leads the TOKI Bird Banding Station
