As a Drama Therapist, Naturalist, and Certified Interpretive Guide I use the creative arts and our natural environment to educate and connect with children, their families and teachers. Connection to our natural world is key to inspire people to be better stewards and protect and conserve the world that we rely on for physical and emotional survival. I am a UC California Naturalist, Xerces Society Ambassador, Climate Steward, incoming Deputy Director of the NAI with a passion for community science projects, especially in the field of pollinators and habitat restoration for Monarch Butterflies.

NAAEE’s Director of Policy & Affiliate Relations, Sarah Bodor comes from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, where she held a number of program management and leadership positions throughout the organization. She worked closely with state education agencies in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to develop and pilot standards-based curricula and provide teacher professional development. Her background also includes communications and fundraising. In 2008, she served as the writer of Maryland’s Children in Nature Plan, which resulted in passage of Maryland’s environmental high school graduation requirement.

I coordinate the Master Watershed Steward Program in Cumberland and Franklin counties through Penn State Extension. This program provides extensive training to volunteers who strengthen local capacity for managing and protecting watersheds, streams, and rivers across the state.

After teaching ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) for almost 30 years, I recently moved from Texas to North Carolina. One of my goals in doing this was to have more access to nature. As I type this in August of 2023, I am just beginning to work on the North Carolina Environmental Education Certification Program.
