Lloyd Wescoat Wins the 2023 Dragonfly Award!

We are thrilled to share that LSSI's own Lloyd Wescoat is the well-deserved recipient of this year’s Dragonfly Award! Lloyd was honored and celebrated by her community at the 2023 Place-Based Education Conference in Grand Rapids, MI this past weekend! The Dragonfly Award honors a person who has made a significant contribution to the field of place-based stewardship education. Past awardees include K-12 teachers, non-formal educators, scholars, scientists, authors, and philanthropists.

Just after the award ceremony, Lloyd was also gifted a felted heart by Monique Gray Smith during her keynote address (author of Braiding Sweet Grass for Young Adults). Monique shared this gift as a way of recognizing the many hearts Lloyd has touched in her decades of service to K-12 students, educators, and countless community partners through her work with the Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative. We are beyond happy to see Lloyd honored in this beautiful way!
