I share my work space with a number of unique co-workers. There are some owls, a marmot, a black bear, and my friend Chuck the mountain lion.

Of course my favorite are the folks that come to visit us at the Foothills Learning Center. We get people of all types here. Last week we hosted a group of 3rd and 4th graders from White Pine elementary. We got to spend time helping them understand erosion and soil. We had several volunteers from the Sagebrush Steppe chapter of the
Idaho Master Naturalists on hand to help out. Time flew by and before we knew it we were out on a hike showing them erosion in action. This was one of the best times I've had yet since starting as an AmeriCorps member. Helping people learn about their world and how the environment affect them is one of the main reasons I am working in environmental education.
