What Would Leslie Knope Do?

Hi!  My name is Gail Westcot and I am the Director at the Mary Kahrs Warnell Forest Education Center which is located on 3,300 acres of forestland in Guyton, GA.  The Center is a part of the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources.  I conduct natural resurce educational programs for prek - 12th grade students and teachers as well as college students, adults, and members of the general public.  I am passionate about getting students outside to experience forests, wildlife, soil, and water resources in order to teach them about their natural environemnt and provide safe, positive experences in oudoor settings.

I am a lifelong learner eager to put my decades of experience in education to great use in environmental education. I look forward to collaborating with local organizations, partners, and stakeholders to build relationships that support and sustain a healthy & active educational partnership. Our environment needs us!
