To me, doing good can mean spreading positivity, educating, lending a helping hand and so much more. Hello my name is Ivy and this is my second year at One Stone. Growing up in Idaho, I've spent a lot of time backpacking and camping with my family and have always cared greatly about animals and nature. My experiences over the past couple of months have given me a chance to connect with people in creative ways and inspired me to want to make a change for the better of our community. I hope to do this by educating people about small-scale environmental change along with encouraging everyone to learn more about the natural world. Spending time outside can do many different things for you. I have personally used it as a way to ground myself, safely spend time with people I care about during the global pandemic, and become more aware of my surroundings and the changes that need to be made to help our planet thrive. I have participated in several One Stone experiences based around the natural environment and applying my passion for art. I love that no matter how much time I have spent in nature, there is always something to learn and something I have never seen before. This ongoing learning inspires me to be the good and do my part to preserve the natural world around me.
