Staff Spotlight

 Mike Murphy

Eco-education at its finest

We're very fortunate to work with Mike Murphy, our eco-educator extraordinaire. We've always been fond of the world around us here at Mariposa, and we're excited at all of the programming Mike has brought to our community. Here's a sneak peak:
 Our worm bin for composting!
 Fungus among us... for pizza!

Mike has been using great activities to teach us about ecology and our surroundings. He's been a great resource and we're lucky to have him on board.
