Roger Spotts, Environmental Education Coordinator
I grew up in Toadvalley PA. Approx. 45 miles north of Harrisburg in a sleepy farming area.  Early on I spent all my time outdoors with my brother exploring the forests and streams around our house.  I graduated from Line Mountain High School and attended PSU’s DuBois campus where I received an Associate degree in Wildlife Technology and deepened my interest in the outdoors.  I then went to Slippery Rock State College and got my BS in Environmental Education so I could share my interest in the outdoors with people of all ages.  After two years with PA. State Parks as a naturalist at Little Buffalo and then Shikellamy State Parks I took a job as a Naturalist at the Meesing Nature Center and for the last 36 plus years I have enjoyed every minute of the experience.  I live with my wife of 29 years, Stephanie near Newfoundland along with our two Black Labs, Arrow and Callie.  Oh we also have a cat, Pyewacket.  I enjoy fishing, pheasant hunting, cooking, baseball, and creek sitting.

Brittney Coleman, Environmental Educator
Brittney has gratefully called the Poconos home for her entire life.  She loves sharing her passion for adventures and nature discoveries with others.  Her interests include animals, whitewater boating, camping, skiing, hiking, swimming, yoga, food, and live music.  Her philosophy is that if we can cherish our natural resources, embrace simplicity, and share our knowledge and experiences, the world will truly be a better place for all.  Do no harm; keep learning and keep playing!

Alesia Gallo, Environmental Educator
Alesia grew up on the admirably wooded Pocono Plateau, spending her childhood outdoors making mudpies, climbing trees and exploring the forest.  She is excited to be able to share her love and respect for nature with people of all ages while learning and discovering along the way!
