This week we are highlighting Gwen, a Gobblers alum who has blended hands-on conservation skills, creative expression, and community education into an outreach portfolio that reflects her commitment to sharing what she learns with others.
This weeks bog is by Esther. Esther talks about the importance of trying new things and finding something to be passionate about.
This week’s blog was written by Lily, a Bucktails alum. Lily returned to field school this past summer as a member of our Academy Support Team. She states that she continues to stay involved with WLA because of the profound impact the program has had on her perspective and commitment to conservation
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Riley, a Bucktails alum whose outreach has been as diverse as it is inspiring. From hands-on service projects to creative ways of engaging kids, Riley has embraced every opportunity to share his love of the outdoors as a Conservation Ambassador.
During their outreach journey, students can submit their outreach books for an “Early Bird” check-in date, when the books are scored and returned to them. As a reward, those students who submit on this date and their families are invited to our special Early Bird Trip. This year, we had the unique opportunity to visit Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center.
