Nature Unbounds
Hello,
My name is Jenns Stiek and I work for the Missouri Department of Conservation as the Conservation Educator for Boone County .
My role is to garner passion for science, conservation and the outdoors through a variety of experiential and inquiry-based methods. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) wants to make sure our Missouri teachers are supported in every way possible when it comes to exposing students to what Missouri nature has to offer.
Our Discover Nature Schools program offers schools and classrooms a wide-range of opportunities, including curriculum and funding , professional development, and access to FREE conservation materials.
Part of my work is to certify teachers in our Discover Nature Schools (DNS) Curriculum units – these trainings are FREE. Each unit offers a shared school-wide classroom equipment grant of $500-$1000, and up to $7/student travel reimbursement to every participating school.
If you are interested in becoming involved with nature and the outdoors, please contact me.
