Walking Mountains school program are no ordinary field trips. Thanks to Beth they are valuable supplemental science education experiences that engage and inspire students.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeth\u2019s passion for hands-on natural science education motivated her to work creatively with schools to ensure every student has equal access to our unique school field science programs. She has helped Walking Mountains not only achieve internal goals but become a valuable hub of education for Eagle County.
