Heidi Ferris, Ph.D. Candidate and Founder of Growing Green Hearts

“Watershed Moments: Finding God, Grace, and a Sense of Place”

Heidi is an environmental science and Earth systems educator—and a person of faith. Her passion is to foster intergenerational learning that links us through knowledge, wonder, and hands-on experience to the places we are. She’ll share with us how she came to understand the intersection of human social systems and Earth’s ecological systems as the place where faith-justice-love meet for her—and the shape that’s taken in her work. Heading into raingarden season, Heidi just might make you eager to get your fingers dirty this summer.
