Water Quality

"Curious naturalist" is a suitable description of Erin, although she would also add analytical and passionate as descriptors. She has focused on environmental conservation and education through jobs in the private, public and non-profit sector throughout North America and the Caribbean. Erin grew up in Chester County, Pennsylvania, but has been calling New England her home ever since attending Franklin Pierce Collge in New Hampshire. She enjoys teaching and learning from a variety of people.

Laura is responsible for coordinating urban NPS pollution and stormwater education programs, and for the Vermont Non-point source Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) program. This position develops and conducts outreach and training programs that teach the connection between land use and water quality. She is also an alumna of the National Sea Grant Academy. Before joining LCSG, Laura was a Program Manager for the Center for World Indigenous Studies and a Graduate Assistant at Antioch University Seattle.
