WASHINGTON CONSERVATION CORP (WCC) CREW
It is with great pleasure to introduce the newest Washington Conservation Corps crew that NSEA shares with Whatcom County Public Works. Crew members serve outdoors - rain or shine - across Washington’s beautiful public lands while making a positive impact on the environment. Project examples include building and improving trails, removing invasive species, constructing livestock fencing, restoring in-stream habitat, removing marine debris, installing native plants, upgrading campgrounds, and more. Pictured from left to right top row: Skye, Henry, Oliver. Bottom row: Kayson, Rose, Zoe.
Keystone Preschool Teachers
Allie Carr and RJ Barrows are our lead preschool teachers. The support NSEA’s fully outdoor Keystone Nature Preschool, co-teaching and guiding a small group of 3- and 4-year-olds through daily preschool activities. Our licensed, nature-based program takes place primarily on NSEA’s campus, with additional field trips throughout Whatcom County. Allie and RJ design developmentally appropriate learning goals aligned with an inquiry-driven, nature-based approach. By using the outdoor environment as a dynamic classroom, they foster curiosity about the natural world, encourages empathy and kindness, and builds core skills through hands-on, sensory, and experiential learning.
