Autorenporträt
Steve Rich has been a science educator in Georgia for many years, with a particular interest in school gardens and teaching about butterflies. He is also the author of two NSTA Press books on teaching science outdoors. Steve was previously a state science specialist, and it was his former employer (the Georgia Department of Education) that connected him to the project in Plains because of his experience in butterfly gardening at schools. Another state education specialist stationed in Plains spearheaded the effort to establish the butterfly gardens for Mrs. Carter. Since first meeting with Mrs. Carter in February 2013, Steve has visited Plains periodically, sharing plants, suggestions, and ideas to further the cause of providing habitats for butterflies and encouraging families and schools to visit the Rosalynn Carter Butterfly Trail.
