Forest Hunt
Education Director
Forest Hunt (they/them) is Turtle Mountain Anishinaabe and they were born and raised in Minneapolis, MN, growing up in Northeast, North, and Robbinsdale. They have a B.S. in Plant Science and Agroecology from UMN and an M.S. in Applied Plant Sciences from UMN, with a focus in education. One of their passions is sustainable agriculture and working to make food systems that benefit humans and our animal and insect relatives alike. They have years of experience teaching youth ages 4-18 as a preschool teacher, summer camp counselor, guest educator, lecturer, and teacher’s aid.
With three little brothers and a 13-17 year age gap between them, caring for and educating youth has always been Forest’s greatest joy. They believe that caring for a community starts with caring for the children, investing in the next generation and helping to heal generational wounds.
