The NBNC Team

Annie’s fascination with the natural world began at a young age, growing up in Vermont and playing among the moss and maple trees in the woods behind her house. Annie appreciates the unique power nature holds for connecting us with deeper aspects of ourselves and one another, and believes nature-based education is an important way to foster this connection. Annie spent a decade in coastal Maine, where she ran a small ecological landscaping business and spent hours exploring with students at a local Ecology school. She has taught with non-profit organizations across Vermont and Maine, and holds a B.S. in Ecology and Place-based Education. Annie is excited to be back at North Branch Nature Center as a Teacher-naturalist! When she's not wandering through the woods with kids, Annie enjoys playing fiddle tunes, gardening, hiking to catch sunsets, and sharing meals with friends.
