Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium, Inc. Board of Trustees

I am an outdoor educator at a local environmental center. I am married with two children. In our free time we enjoy fishing, the beach and anything outdoors. 

Natalie is a former 1st & 2nd grade teacher who regularly took her students out into nature. She is also the founder and author of NatureNatalie.com, a blog and resource site for educators, parents, and community members interested in taking children outdoors.

Have spent nearly 30 years in the field of environmental and STEAM education.  I love connecting people of all ages to nature and have a special interest in using art in all its forms and gardening to do that.  

I’m Maggy Benson (she/her), a dynamic learning designer who is passionate about creating inclusive audience-centered learning experiences. My specialties are digital strategy, science education, multimedia production, and on-camera interviews.
