About Sherry
Sherry has taught environmental education all of her professional life. As one of the first Project Wild educators in North Dakota to her current positions at both DCB and the North Dakota Game & Fish Department, she shares her outdoor knowledge with others. A lover of the outdoors, she gets to practice what she preaches recreating throughout the seasons. She and her family are avid outdoors people. When not in a classroom, you will find Sherry camping, hiking, fishing or hunting depending on the season.
