Erin Mutch is the Environmental Education Coordinator for K-12 at the Thames Valley District School Board in London, Ontario where she lives with her husband and two children. She is a curious and joyful learner who holds an Honours Bachelor of Outdoor Recreation, Bachelor of Natural Sciences, Bachelor of Education, and recently completed her Professional Master's in Education from Queen’s University. Erin considers Environmental Education as a wonderful context for interdisciplinary critical and creative thinking and as a way to connect community to the classroom. She first fell in love with the magic of outdoor and experiential learning as a 14 year old in the wilderness of Northern Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park and has passionately pursued a career where she can provide such opportunities for other children.
