Supervisor of Education & Outreach at Boulder County Parks & Open Space. I have over 20 years of experience in outdoor and environmental education. My passions include working with volunteers, mentoring early career naturalists, and supporting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the outdoors.
Kelsi M - STAFF
I'm a lifelong lover and learner of the outdoors. I grew up in Iowa on the Mississippi River, where boating, fishing, and camping were a huge part of my childhood. After learning about environmental education in high school, I knew this was the field for me. Since then, I've gotten my Masters in Recreation, Park and Tourism Administration and worked across the country in outdoor education and recreational roles. I love the opportunity to connect people to the natural world and inspire change!
Mary Jane V - Volunteer Naturalist
I have lived in Boulder County since 2006 and have been a Volunteer Naturalist since 2009. I have loved all the amazing experiences I have had here in the county with all things nature. I have special interest in Birds and in native wildflowers and grasses. Teaching has been the focus of my life and I enjoy working with all ages. It is a privilege to share experiences in nature with the community.
