She comes to this new position was great perspective as an educator and logistics manager, and with deep relationships with all of our partners and teachers.⁠

When she isn't in the office or supporting a program, you can find Anna riding the trails around the Nature Connection on her mountain bike or reading with a borrowed dog she is likely dog-sitting for!

It is very bittersweet to say farewell to our Dire

It is very bittersweet to say farewell to our Director of Programs, Tori Swift, who is moving on from the Nature Connection. Since 2018, Tori has carefully developed NC's summer, school, and family programming from creating curriculum, mentoring HS interns, leading programs, creating scheduling and supporting teachers, and every big and little detail in between. We sure are going to miss Tori and her beautiful spirit in the office. Thank you, Tori, for all you done for the Nature Connection and the youth and families of Delta County! 💚💛🤎
