VGMC OCTOBER MEETING
SPECIAL GUEST - Erin Reichel, St. Johns River Water Management District
Connecting people to Florida’s natural treasures
For Erin Reichel, education and outreach coordinator, the District’s mission of protecting water quality, water supply, flood protection and natural resources felt like a perfect fit from the start. Growing up in Florida fostered her love for the outdoors and inspired her to help preserve what makes the state so special for future generations.
Erin takes pride in her outreach work, whether teaching educators hands-on activities they can use in their classrooms or celebrating places like the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive.
“Helping to connect people with water and lands within the District is something I take pride in,” she says. “In my role, I get to directly interact with community members, share our mission and show how we all play an important part in conserving and protecting Florida’s natural systems.”
