About us
The Port of Baltimore Education Team is dedicated to creating programs that are the perfect fit for your school or community. We are a small but mighty group of five educators with a shared passion for environmental learning and hands-on experiences.
With a combined 30 years of teaching and environmental education expertise, our team works closely with students, teachers, and community partners to bring meaningful, engaging, and science-based programming to Maryland learners.
From classroom lessons to on-site adventures, we pride ourselves on flexibility, creativity, and a deep commitment to helping every group discover the wonders of Maryland’s ecosystems. Our size lets us stay personal and our experience lets us make it unforgettable.
Poplar Island Team:
Rachel “Nothing makes me happier than a curious student, except maybe when the bus arrives on time.”
Julia “My lesson plans are 90% preparation and 10% hoping the weather cooperates.”
HQ Team:
Beth “Nothing beats watching a student discover something incredible except maybe when they don’t drop it.”
Emily "I teach about turtles because they refuse to talk back… usually.”
Laura “I bring the environment to your classroom because no one has a field trip budget big enough for a real marsh.”
