Charlotte Fesnoux

Education and Stewardship Coordinator & Project -Re- Generation Facilitator

Charlotte is a curious individual with a thirst for knowledge and learning. In her youth she spent much of her free time exploring the natural world around her, from forests blanketed with snow, to frog-filled bogs and wide, open fields. To this day, nature and learning remain an integral part of her life. This is evident through her BA in Environmental Geography (SFU, 2012) and a Bachelor of Education (UBC, 2017). Bridging these passions, Charlotte developed Project -Re- Generation (ReGen), a place- and project-based immersive learning experience where learners can play an active role in their communities. Charlotte also teaches at the one-room schoolhouse on Thetis as a TOC where she sees each visit as an opportunity to get the kids engaged in their outdoor environment - going on mushroom hunts, cultivating compost, and getting their hands dirty in the near-by People’s Apothecary Garden.
