Janelle Richards is Toronto Public Library's first-ever Environmentalist in Residence (EnvIR), presented as part of the Our Fragile Planet program series!
About Janelle Richards
Janelle Richards has over seven years of professional experience as a certified teacher and environmental educator in the non-profit sector. Her educational background in Wildlife Biology has allowed her to develop, lead and deliver park engagement programs and outdoor education workshops for participants of various ages and backgrounds.
"Growing up, I was enamoured with the natural world but I would soon realize that the colour of my skin often made me stand out in many of the environmental circles I belonged to, causing me to question my passion. Because of this, I recognize that environmentalism may look different depending on the target audience."
