Naturalist Staff
NaturalistSherry Mathers I am a sun child from the sagebrush country of E. WA, but I grew to also love the west side's forests and beaches. The first Seattle park I had the joy of working in was Discovery Park. For 13 years I stealthily hunted for tidbits of nature's wisdom to share with folks of all ages. Discovery's Nature Daycamp was my offspring and it is still snatching up youngsters and filling them with the love of nature. I zoomed to Carkeek Park to help keep water clean and spawned the Pipers Creek Watershed program. When the hardy Chum salmon finally returned to Piper's Creek we grabbed up the old ZooBoook store and an education center emerged at Carkeek. Now at Camp Long I'm on the look out for new naturalist opportunities of all shapes and sizes. Which animal is Sherry? 
NaturalistJeanie Murphy-Ouellette As a child in rural New England, Jeanie developed a passion for the surrounding mountains and spring-fed ponds and lakes. Her insatiable curiosity to explore and learn about her environment had her slowly plodding through the woods in search of tasty tidbits of nature. A love of plants and gardening brought Jeanie to work for Massachusetts Audubon Society where she coordinated a community P-patch; leading workshops and helping people build a close relationship with Earth through gardening. A thirst for adventure led to worldwide traveling with her home on her back but with her feet firmly planted on the ground. While working for the Honolulu zoo as a reptile keeper she discovered she could be at home in both fresh and salt-water environments. Jeanie then migrated to the Pacific Northwest, where as a naturalist/ educator for King County Parks and Discovery Park she basked in the delight of sharing nature’s awe with people of all ages. At Camp Long, she continues to hatch new ideas, always inspired by nature and the community around her. Which animal is Jeanie?  Watershed
NaturalistSheryl Shapiro Sheryl loves to unearth community energy as she works to protect and restore the Longfellow Creek Watershed. She may often seek an underground approach to making connections among citizens, public agencies, and urban ecology, taking care to avoid tunnel vision. Sheryl is also active nocturnally, found at many meetings, breaking new ground with neighbors. She enjoys excavating and intertwining the unique talents and skills of students, businesses, organizations and residents to improve the health of the watershed. Come out of your tunnel and get involved! Enjoy a nibble of watershed education through a tour of the creek or dig in at one of the many plantings and cleanups along the creek! Meet other concerned folks at the Longfellow Creek Advisory Council. Call Sheryl at 233-2046 for information about available resources and programs and how you can help. Which animal is Sheryl?
