I have been a Master Naturalist with the City since 2013 and have just completed my CSU training as a Native Plant Master Instructor. I especially love to take people out on plant walks and talk about how important plants are the the health of ecological communities. I belong to the Colorado Native Plant Society and am on the Board, where with others to promote awareness of native plants and native ecosystems through outreach, education and citizen science.. Plants rock!!
I've been an active volunteer in education since 1984 with school field trips, with trail hikes near Oregon's Columbia River Gorge, and with tours at FC's historic Avery House. Besides regularly camping and hiking in Rocky, I've assisted the NAD since 2013 and love learning more of the history, geology, ecology, flora, fauna, and stewardship of our unique northern Front Range region.
Following a career as editor of a lawyers' magazine, I decided to reawaken my lifelong interest in natural history and the out of doors, volunteering in environmental education, citizen science research (bumblebees), and environmental restoration. I'm certified as a Minnesota Master Naturalist and volunteer with Poudre Wilderness Volunteers as well as serving as a Fort Collins Master Naturalist.
In my career as a journalist, my most enjoyable work has involved the natural world. I became a Master Naturalist in 2017 and am delighted to continue learning about the local ecology and introducing others to its wonders. I also worked for twenty years as a writer-in-residence in Missouri schools, leading creative writing workshops. My degrees are in journalism and French.
