Meet Marti:

I am the program project coordinator for the Elm Fork Education Center at the University of North Texas in Denton. In that capacity, I am also the Project WET Coordinator at Elm Fork, a Project WET Host Institution. The Elm Fork Education Center is the community outreach arm of the environmental science programs at UNT. We create and provide premiere field trip, home school, summer camp, and professional educator development programs for students of all ages and educators of all types.

I love working with Project WET because of the ideas I can share and that are shared with me about a subject we are equally passionate about. I am not sure I could choose a favorite activity, but I do recall a time when we were presenting "Water Quality? Ask the Bugs!" and the 3rd grade students were having difficulty finding actual macroinvertebrates in our pond area. One of the students became so exasperated that he shouted, "If this were 'Survivor,' we would all be dead!"
