"All people — age zero to 100 — deserve nature and the outdoors. It’s a right, like clean air or clean water… and kids should be first in line. I’m thrilled and honored to work alongside EV’s incredible staff and volunteers who are out on the trails and in classrooms everyday — inspiring wonder, cultivating science skills, leading restoration efforts, and educating for action."
