About Cori's ee360 Community Action Project

Together with community organizations, the Siuslaw National Forest is building a community engagement program that aims to provide historically underserved communities access and information to/about public lands. Cori, the Public Affairs Specialist for the Forest, works with long-standing, local, community partners to provide free transportation to public lands with culturally relevant education and gear for participants to facilitate positive, safe experiences on public lands. Cori hopes her participation in the ee360 Fellowship will give her tools to incorporate community perspective into programming and deepen her work in community engagement.

I love teaching about the outdoors to all age groups, but I mainly teach youth. Watching their interest grow as they find a bug under a log or hear a bird call while walking through the forest is the best part of the job!

I am an environmental educator from Colombia, one of the most biodiverse countries, but also one of the most threatened. I am now a Master's student in Environment and Development at the National University, and I developing an education program for community tourism processes in the post-conflict.
