Mary Walk began her journey with Winnebago County Extension in 2002, when she joined the Winnebago County Extension Council. She served as a member and treasurer for 14 years, ending her role in 2016 only to help the County Office when it experienced a shortage in staff. 
Mary became a Master Gardener in 2000 and has shared her knowledge and expertise with our county ever since. She continues to be a resource for our office when locals call in with gardening questions and many people still think she works at the Extension Office, and often reach out directly to her for advice. Mary is always willing to jump in and volunteer her time at many of our county events.
She has led many 4-H youth and adult programs, often with gardening or sewing, she volunteers her time at the Extension’s annual events such as Family Fall Festival and Family Fun Night, and she continues to help at our County Fair. For many years, she has helped judge the youth’s horticulture projects, as well as the cat, dog, and pet show. Mary has been a vital asset to the Winnebago County Extension Office and our community is lucky to have her!
