I am a biologist at the Loon Preservation Committee and spearhead our education and outreach initiatives. Our mission is to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons throughout New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the larger natural world.Educating the public about loons, their needs, and ways that lake users can reduce their impacts on loons is a critical part of our mission. Our educational initiatives include traditional powerpoint presentations, guided paddling trips, tabling events, and more.

Dorna Schroeter was coordinator of the Putnam Northern Westchester BOCES Center for Environmental Education for 38 years. The program served 40,000 students each year through a wide variety of programs.

Since retiring in 2018, Dorna has focused on using the power of stories to inspire curiosity and a sense of wonder for our natural world. Her first two stories, "The Story of Velcro and The Story of Eco-Machines, introduce young readers to the fascinating world of biomimicry. She released We Are One: A User’s Guide for Young Earthlings in January 2026. Her next book, Because of a Storm, will follow. Her books can be found at http://www.inspiredbynaturebooks.com and Amazon.

When she isn't writing stories, teaching biomimicry, mentoring youth, or gardening, she is biking locally and on multi-day trips around the country.

I am from the mountains of northern California. I am married to my high school sweetheart, have 3 children and 5 dogs. I went back to school for another BS but in Evironmental Science so I could better understand my photographic subjects. My journey started in medicine and the military. For over 21 years, I listened to the most human forms of vulnerability. Now, I listen to the wild, with a camera, with stillness, and with purpose.
