“I Realized I Could Help People Gain Confidence” – Daniel W. Yeung | Edify. Ingenuity and hard work grew into his passion for mentoring others and for building a community of innovators

Michelle Harris (Biological Sciences Technology – Renewable Resources ’11) recently published “Explore the Green Side of Edmonton,” a book that covers destinations, resources, and other ways to enjoy the outdoors.

Michelle has grown her career as an environmental educator in Edmonton, working with clients like the Canadian Wildlife Federation and the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance. While she felt the industry had an eye on aspects of accessibility to enjoying nature, such as financial barriers or even unpaved paths, she wasn’t convinced it did enough to simply extend an invitation to participate.

Helping people take the first step was a constant issue that no one was addressing, so the self-described “tree hugger” decided to address it herself. What started with a single notebook grew into 340 pages of expert guidance to exploring the incredible bounty and beauty of the natural world in and around Edmonton.
