Kelly Merryfield
Kelly believes that the best learning happens under open skies. A lifelong explorer of the woods and wilds of New England, she transforms outdoor spaces into unforgettable classrooms where curiosity thrives and discovery is a daily adventure. Her deep-rooted passion for the natural world has shaped a career dedicated to inspiring the next generation through hands-on, nature based education.
Whether she’s turning over rocks with students or trekking through a less traveled trail, Kelly brings science, wonder, and a spirit of exploration to every learning experience. Most recently, she embarked on a canoe journey through the Boundary Waters with her daughter - proof that learning never stops and that the best lessons are often shared.
Kelly’s mission is simple but powerful: to awaken a love of learning through nature and to equip young minds with the confidence, curiosity and resilience to explore the world around them.
