Dr. Susan Moffett (aka Susie) has furthered the environmental education of our youth by serving the community in various roles, such as developing and managing programs at Fern Hollow Nature Center, being a Girl Scout Leader for over a decade (where she is a relied upon resource for earning badges involving anything earth related for the entire Quaker Valley region), teaching youth ministry for the United Methodist Church to be good stewards of the earth, and is a past Conservation Chair for The Village Garden Club of Sewickley (VGC), where she encouraged children to participate in our flower show. She is a beloved and revered member of our community, who shares her knowledge with children in an exceptional way. Miss Susie, as she is known to the kids, goes above and beyond her responsibilities to connect and educate.

She has truly mentored kids, building lifelong relationships that continue on through to their adult years. They may remember her for her love of turkey vultures, honeybees, and lessons on: water tables, community gardens, fossils, birds, invasives, and pollinator gardens. Some of those in her classes are inspired to pursue careers in environmental studies, biology, botany, horticulture and conservation.
