She is a lifetime member of the Friends of Huntley Meadows Park, and in June 2022 was elected to the Board of the Friends of Huntley Meadows Park. She is a certified Virginia Master Naturalist, and a member of the Audubon Society of Northern Virginia. She serves as volunteer Library Assistant at Fairfax County’s Martha Washington Library. Celia (on left, with daughter Lisa) has been a long-time Potomac Watershed Cleanup participant and site/team coordinator, especially on Little Hunting Creek, in her neighborhood of Stratford Landing.
