The Board of the Stewardship Education Alliance announces the election of Jenna VanRyn, a student at Camden Hills Regional High School, to the S.E.A. Board. Jenna is originally from Connecticut, and has lived in Maine for almost three years. She is an avid runner and athlete, and loves to learn about nutrition and experiment with what she has learned, according to S.E.A., in a news release.

“She is very interested in the impacts we have on our climate, and dealing with climate change is very important to her. In exploring the trails of Maine, she has learned the importance of local resources, as well as doing all we can to protect and preserve them,” said the release.
 
Jenna will be the S.E.A. Board liaison to Camden Hills Regional High School and will let students and teachers know about programs and events S.E.A. offers. As the liaison from the high school, she will bring students’ concerns and suggestions to the attention of the S.E.A. Board.

“Jenna's dual perspective will be very valuable to S.E.A. as it works to support students and teachers in Appleton, Camden, Hope, Lincolnville and Rockport in promoting good stewardship of our local watersheds,” said S.E.A.
 
Jenna wants to share information about climate change and climate action as well as global issues – and encourage other students to do the same.

“Jenna will help S.E.A. navigate the world of social media so we all gain more awareness of ways to protect the special environment of Midcoast Maine,” said S.E.A. “Jenna brings great energy and enthusiasm to the Board of S.E.A., and has already made suggestions that have guided its decisions. We know she will be a very valuable contributor. Welcome Jenna!”
