Margaret Sudduth Copeland

of Starkville is a founding member of the Friends of Noxubee
Refuge and one of the Starkville Audubon Chapter and the
National Butterfly Association, she is enthusiastic about
anything dealing with nature.  Margaret has been an involved
in the Refuge’s management of the endangered red-
cockaded woodpecker for "forever" and has volunteered
countless hours monitoring individual birds, nests and
populations.  She received Regional Director's Honor
Awards for her outstanding volunteer activities in 1995 and
2006.

On a more personal note, Margaret and her husband, John,
have a son and two grandchildren.  She is the receptionist
and office manager for Copeland Clinic and also teaches a
Sunday School class for two-year olds, her "favorite age to
work with," at the First United Methodist Church in
Starkville.  As you can tell, she stays busy!

Margaret wants to encourage people to become volunteers.  
She said, “There is a peace and satisfaction that comes from
being in nature and making a difference.
