Hello Everyone!  My name is Laura Ehnes and I will be covering for Sean McCammon at the Laurel Creek Nature Centre for the next little while.  Sean is doing some travelling and working on some new songs.  I got my start in Outdoor Education at the Apps’ Mill Nature Centre in Paris working for the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA).  I started working at other GRCA Nature Centres too and ended up spending most of my time at Laurel Creek.  I did some other programs along the way; those of you from the Waterloo Region District School Board might also remember me from the Bechtel Park Trailer Program, and out at the Huron Natural Area.  My favourite part of outdoor education is the excitement when a student sees or experiences something in nature for the first time.  I also love how you can always learn or see something new every time you head out.  I am looking forward to seeing you at the Nature Centre.
