Meredith McCool: Environmental Educator
Since 1988, the Frontier Culture Museum of Virginia has illustrated how European, African, and Indigenous practices merged to shape American life...and its programs can leave a lasting mark. Environmental educator Meredith McCool traces her career back to childhood days spent mixing clay and exploring the museum’s farms, experiences she says “fueled the spark” that led to degrees in geology and education, work in Alaska, and the launch of her own stewardship programs at Sunshine Springs Farm.
