Eric Imhof is an educator and environmentalist with a passion for learning and teaching about ecosystems. He grew up taking day hikes along the Appalachian Trail in central Pennsylvania, and has since retained his love for outdoor activities and explorations. With a Master’s of Art in Community Art from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Eric also has experience integrating art and creative expression into programs with both kids and adults. He believes it is vital to teach the scientific method as a way to promote problem solving and teamwork, and to give kids the tools they need to become leaders in their families, schools, and communities. His favorite animal is a raven because they can – among other things – take complex tasks and break them down into simple, achievable steps.
