Sarah Phillips

Beaufort, NC (Carteret County)
What does she do? Sarah is a Coastal Outreach Specialist with the North Carolina Coastal Federation.
Favorite part of earning her certification? While earning her EE Certification, Sarah enjoyed meeting and talking with other NC educators that have similar goals regarding the environment. "Many educators working on their EE certification are really trying to get students and adults to love the environment as much as they do!"
Certification experience that stands out? Sarah's favorite outdoor experience was the Leopold Education Project in Greensboro. She enjoys the creative side of education and really liked learning to appreciate the environment in non-formal ways.
Her Action Partnership? She organized and led two youth groups to create oyster shell bags that were placed along an island's eroding shoreline in the White Oak River in Carteret County. These oyster shells provide habitat for native oysters in the river and also protect the island from erosion from storms and boat wake.
CONGRATULATIONS, SARAH!
