Ms. Ferris has worked with teachers and students from preschool to higher ed from Minnesota to Hawaii.

Nature questions from kids still keep her exercising her Master of Arts in Natural Science and Education from Hamline University. With vast experiences in ecological and social systems, Heidi has found that connecting people to place is key. Ms. Ferris is a doctoral candidate in Educational Leadership with the University of St. Thomas and her 2023 dissertation research will explore meanings people make from native prairie planting projects that go beyond water quality.
Heidi can be found on Minnesota lakes, rivers and trails with husband, daughters, and friends in a kayak, sailboat or Nordic skiing.
