The Scoop on Soil: Sowing Seeds of Knowledge: Greetings!

There is a new face in the office! Hi my name is Sara Fehring and I am the new Education Assistant for the Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District. I received a B.A. in Zoology from Miami University in 2013. For the past year I have been working on my M.A. in Biology through Project Dragonfly and Miami University. I would highly recommend Project Dragonfly to any formal or informal educator that is interested in obtaining their master's degree, https://www.projectdragonfly.org/.

For the past two years I worked as a Naturalist for the City of Fairfield. I highly enjoyed working for the City of Fairfield but was ready to move on to a full time position. As a Naturalist I created and ran programs out of Huffman Park. I am extremely excited to share my past experiences, knowledge and ideas with my new co-workers and members of the community. With the start of the school year quickly approaching I look forward to meeting you and your group/class. Don't forget that our calendar fills up quickly. If you have a date, time and program in mind please head over and send us a request, http://www.hcswcd.org/classroom-programs.html.

When I am not working there are a number of things that I enjoy doing. My hobbies include horseback riding, crafting, camping and baking. I highly enjoy being outdoors and I find myself working outdoors whenever I have the opportunity. I have a true passion for animals and traveling. I have two dogs, a horse and a miniature donkey at home. I am hoping to add some chickens to the mix in the near future. I recently went to Bahia de los Angeles with Project Dragonfly. I have created a slide show with a few pictures from my trip. I definitely recommend adding Baja California to your bucket list.

I look forward to meeting all of you in person!
