Outreach

I organized a trash cleanup throughout the Shenandoah Valley for the JMU Geology Club and outreached to other environmental clubs!

I organized an outreach event with Friends of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River at a local farmers market, targeted towards K-12 kids. I created a "paint a rock" activity where I could teach the kids about rock types and weathering in a simple way! While the kids were occupied, we chatted with parents about the local Environmental Science initiatives for the non-profits. 

I organized a Benthic MacroInvertebrate outreach event for a local elementary schools 3rd grad classes through Friends of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River! This event allowed six classes to come to the Shenandoah River, collect BMIs, and understand what these critters tell us about the quality of our water.
