Hi, my name is Deb Schein. I live in Minneapolis. I am an editor for Soul to Soul; I do research and write on the relationship between spirituality and nature; and I am one of the founders of the Loose Parts Laboratory in MN - sponsored by the Reggio Inspired Network of MN.

Hi, I'm Aidan. I'm a college student from Nebraska aiming to go into zoo work specializing in reptiles and amphibians.

Abigail transitioned from a 20+ year career in Arts Education to join the DPS Sustainability team after an inspiring Fulbright grant in Finland where she learned about the national commitment to integration of sustainability into all academic contents. She is a true believer in the power of nature studies and outdoor education to promote student wellbeing and agency for environmental stewardship. Originally from Rhode Island, she moved to CO in 2015 for the mountains, but this mermaid misses the ocean. Abigail is a world traveler, dancer, gardener, ceremonialist, hiker, and hot springs enthusiast.
