Nominated by:
Vickie Bibee
Year: 2023
Charlie is raising a generation of environmental stewards in Southwest Virginia, where he teaches Ecology and Earth Science at Glenvar High School. His "G-Bee" Program has created an environment where faculty and students work together to fabricate, install and maintain hives on campus. They also plant and maintain fruit trees, flowers, and vegetables in support of the pollinators. The honey and related products are sold locally with the proceeds used to fund college scholarships.
