We’d like to welcome Amy and Teeg Stouffer as venue leaders in the area of environmental stewardship.  Both are passionate about and annointed in the area of “Creation Care”, and their obedience to God’s specific calling in this important and timely arena is a modern-day incarnation of Mankind’s earliest kingdom assignment … to care for “the garden”.

Amy works in Marketing for the Arbor Day Foundation, which involves layout and design, writing ad copy, and taking photos.  And one of these days, she’d like to try her hand at watercolor painting.

Teeg is Executive Director of Recycled Fish.  Teeg is a life-long angler, who is truly passionate about the sport of fishing and the resource on the whole.  “I came from a fishing family both on my mom’s side and my dad’s side.  We grew up fishing.  I had a rod in my hand at age three, and I don’t think I ever put it down.”  Here is a short (3 minute) video introducing Teeg  http://vimeo.com/6077170.

 Recycled Fish is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that started out talking about Catch and Release, but it’s grown into a national movement of anglers who live and promote a lifestyle of stewardship both on and off the water.  “We’re doing stuff like putting in low flow shower heads and changing how we care for our lawns because that stuff matters as much or more than catch and release.  If we want more and bigger fish in our waters, now and for our kids, the choices we make every day matter because our lifestyle runs downstream.”
