A Jump in the Lake: Environmental Education with Eddie Gill
In this episode of The Lake Doctor Podcast, we’re joined by Eddie Gill, Executive Director of The Friends of White River in Indianapolis, Indiana. Eddie shares how his organization connects people to the water through hands-on programs, community events, and environmental outreach. From river cleanups to outdoor education initiatives, he discusses the importance of creating opportunities for people of all ages to learn about and engage with their local ecosystems beyond the traditional classroom setting.
Together, we explore how experiential learning deepens our understanding of stewardship and inspires communities to take action for cleaner, healthier waterways. Eddie’s passion for accessible, outdoor education offers valuable insight into how organizations can work together to make conservation a shared responsibility.
