Kaylynn partook in a two term service program called the Environmental Leadership Program at the University of Oregon. After 11 weeks of learning the principles and history of environmental education, the following eleven weeks allowed her leadership skills to flourish by educating and mentoring local middle school students. Her team, The Majestic Trees, created a full day field trip lesson plan to provide place-based education on climate change issues through exploring themes like forest ecology and watershed morphology. With artistic interests, her first lesson at HJ Andrews Experimental Forest involved watercoloring local ecology. Due to COVID-19, she utilized her creative problem solving to evolve her lessons into remote online education. Her topics included local species like salamanders and pollinators. Below are lessons and supplemental worksheets she created.
