I contribute to conversations and projects on Sustainability and Environmental Education regionally. I have volunteered extensively with Cooperative Extension (Tree Steward, Master Gardener, Master Naturalist, 4-H). For several years I facilitated Outdoor Education at Arlington Traditional School, Jamestown Elementary and preschools Brooksfield School and Eastern Ridge School. I am former chair of the Arlington & Alexandria Extension Leadership Council and served on the State Extension Leadership Council (Chair, Advocacy Committee).
