Eco-Fair 2012 Guest of Honor: OLIVIA BOULER
Jackson Hole Energy Sustainability Project is thrilled to announce that “eco-celebrity” Olivia Bouler will join us at Eco-Fair 2012. Huge thanks to Teton Raptor Center, which is bringing Olivia and her family to Jackson in celebration of the environment, International Migratory Bird Day and students in action.
Through her love of art and birds, 12-year old Olivia has raised over $200,000 in support of oil clean-up efforts in the Gulf. She has written and illustrated a book, Olivia’s Birds: Saving the Gulf, and even presented at TedX. She was the winner of the 2011 Audubon Artist Inspiring Conservation Award and the 2011 Youth in Action International Quality of Life Award. On top of all this, Olivia is a rockin’ saxophonist!
Olivia will participate in workshops, kids’ activities and more at Eco-Fair 2012. Come out and meet this inspiring young woman!
