Michele Aydlett, a member of the N.C. Environmental Education Advisory Council (EEAC), was recently inducted into the state’s Order of the Long Leaf Pine. The EEAC advises and makes recommendations to the NC Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs on its educational efforts and strategic direction and informs the Office on trends in education, government, business and the non-profit sector. The Council is comprised of representatives from the academic, business, cultural arts and environmental communities. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is one of the highest honors awarded to a North Carolina citizen, in recognition of service to the state or special achievement. Aydlett is an active education volunteer, a retired educator, active conservation volunteer and elections official. The award was specifically given for her service to Dismal Swamp State Park. Aydlett founded the Friends of Dismal Swamp State Park and actively promotes the park across the region and state. Congratulations Michele!
