Amanda and Jon co-founded the Mississippi Delta Nature & Learning Center, a community-based farm and outdoor classroom that connects people of all ages to nature through hands-on science, sustainability, and wellness programming. Since launching, the center has served more than 3,000 individuals, partnered with 15 schools, trained 25 teachers, and raised over $1 million in resources to reinvest in local education. Their work continues to nurture both people and place, inspiring the next generation of Delta changemakers.
