Exploring the Continental Divide

Event Date: 
Feb 26 2019 - 6:00pm

Join us on Tuesday, February 26th, at 6:00 p.m., when Emily Kenny, Environmental Steward and Naturalist Instructor takes us on a back-packing adventure at the Continental Divide.

Last year, Emily blazed a section of the Trail in Wyoming. Hear about her trip in the Wind River Range, and find out what she carried for a few weeks of living in the wild. Emily will show the audience all of her gear, talk about the significance of the Continental Divide, and discuss the wilderness experience.

For over 15 years, Emily has taught people of all ages about the natural world around them, and has organized experiences so that people can better appreciate the natural world. From fundraising bike rides to coordinating entire council events for the Girl Scouts of America, merit badges for Boy Scouts, and implementing special events for park districts, Emily is now with ME4E -- Multidisciplinary Education for the Environment. At ME4E, Emily is able to extend her services to reach more diverse populations. When she isn't working, teaching or volunteering, Emily can be found outdoors, enjoying the natural world.
