Casey is thrilled to be collaborating with Willowell, growing a nature-based-educational response to the social and environmental changes rocking our world today. Gardener, musician, craftsperson, and carpenter, Casey has worn many hats throughout her career as a human being and is dedicated to sharing her passions and knowledge with children. She has been running nature-based craft and cooking camps with the Willowell Foundation for the last 5 years. Originally from the Northern Catskills of New York she ventured into the NYS Public School System working with children with special needs. She went on to co-create a full time nature-based elementary curriculum at Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School in Columbia County NY and worked as a teacher there before moving to Vermont in 2015.
