"Dave was very engaging and kept the students attention through personal stories and pictures that related to the topic. He brought in an amazing animal hide that the students loved to explore. Dave also had a great idea for a final project that he front-loaded for the students. This project will allow students to be creative and come up with solutions of thier own for various climate change related issues. I am very grateful for his knowledge of the topic and getting the students excited for their final project!" - Heather Davis
