NATURE CENTER AT SHAKER LAKES: STAFF DIRECTORY

Peter

Dear Friends, 

Our team is well underway to making an impact in 2024. This dynamic staff, dedicated board, and committed core group of volunteers help transform the Nature Center from a destination of education and eco-mindfulness into a centerpiece of the culture of Northeast Ohio.

In everything we do, our team will continue to strive to be a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. This effort, nor any we undertake, can be done alone. Our team relies on our partnering organizations and regional advisors to ensure a meaningful experience for all visitors.

For those members and supporters that have helped us get to where we are today, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! For those who are looking for a way to make an impact, there is a great opportunity that lies in front of us to lead the region through the woods and demonstrate the importance of our dedicated work here in the Shaker Parklands.

All we work toward is a curated collaborative effort guided by the community's pulse. Your presence at our events, support of our team, visitation at our space, and engagement through our programming drives us to continually progress everything that we do.

I’m ever inspired by this region that we call home and excited for all we will accomplish together.

You can find me in the trees!
