Board of Directors
Megan Dusablon
Treasurer
Megan grew up in Vermont and cherishes the memories she has of playing outside with her siblings and neighborhood friends making mud donuts, climbing trees, drawing and swimming. Growing up, her family cared for many creatures, sparking her fascination with animals large and small. It is on and off trails, crossing creeks and playing in the snow in Vermont where her nature connection began. Megan believes that these early, positive outdoor experiences are crucial in developing a connection to nature and a lasting love for the Earth. Outside, children are free to explore their imaginations and challenge their physical capabilities, building confidence, creativity and resiliency. Megan has worked with children since 2006. She received a BFA from Lesley University. In Boston, she volunteered to bring studio art programs into elementary schools. She moved to San Francisco in 2008 and attained her Early Childhood Education credentials. After working as an atelierista (art studio teacher) in a Reggio-inspired school, Megan was immediately drawn to the approach and philosophy of Reggio Emilia. Holding the child at the center of learning and combining her love for the natural world, Megan partnered with Ilana Israel in 2013, to form Parks Plus Creation. Parks Plus Creation offers nature connection programs for children and families in San Francisco, including a forest preschool, called Spire School. Megan, her husband, Kevin and their two children live in San Francisco.
Susan Seiguer
Board Member
Susan grew up in a rural town in Virginia. From a young age she was grateful to have space to roam and explore. Some of her fondest memories were playing hide and seek in the forest, catching tadpoles and playing outside all day. This love of nature continued on into her adult life taking her on many traveling adventures. The biggest adventure was becoming a parent to two amazing boys. Susan has been working with children and families for the last 13 years. She is the founder and lead teacher of All Friends Nature School. Susan has a genuine appreciation for the outdoors and is passionate about teaching young people to have a meaningful connection to nature and the world around them.
