Chuck helping with volunteer clean-up at Ernie Miller
Living in a metro area can make it challenging to connect with nature, but Chuck Magnuson, a principal telecom engineer at BNSF, discovered his own sanctuary in Olathe, Kansas. Now, he’s sharing his love for the outdoors with younger generations. His dedication as a volunteer at Ernie Miller Park & Nature Center even earned him JCPRD's Volunteer of the Quarter award! Chuck is not only a long-time patron and volunteer, but also became a donor to the nature center this year through his workplace giving program which offers a 100% match for donations to community non-profits like our foundation.

“At Ernie Miller Nature Center & JCPRD, I’ve had the privilege of volunteering in a setting that I enjoy - outdoors and nature. From supporting scouting groups to cleaning creeks, drilling rain barrels, and more. By contributing to the community, my time and resources, I’ve unearthed a sense of purpose that is both empowering and humbling to me. With a great place like Ernie Miller and the wonderful staff there, I thought, what a deserving place for me to donate financially, as well!”
