Erin Shaw, Park Ranger

---

Erin Shaw is a Naturalist and Park Ranger at nearby Caesar Creek State Park. While she will not be presenting on stage like she did in 2023, she will be interacting with the attendees at her table with a variety of real life critters! These are the native reptiles and amphibians that make their home in the Little Miami River valley!

Erin was named the Ohio State Parks' Naturalist of the Year in 2014. She teaches the Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist program in conjunction with Ohio State University and was the primary instructor when Frogman Festival founder Jeff Craig took her course in 2016. Erin has a background in studying recreation and outdoor leadership at Miami University. She has a masters degree in Education Science and brings a diverse work background as an instructor at Morgan's Canoe and Outdoor Adventures, a facilitator at World Leadership Forum, 5th grade teacher, and facilitator at Cohutta Springs, a retreat center in the northern Georgia mountains.
