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.
Hello Volunteers! My name is Tyler Eisenhand, I was recently hired on to the Natural Areas Education Team as their Education specialist. I am a recent graduate from CSU with a degree in Human Dimensions of Natural Resources. I have a passion for working with youth and others to connect people to the outdoors.
