Emma Kluge (she/her) brings a passion for environmental education and community engagement to her role as coordinator of the 2025 Monadnock Region Natural History Conference. She holds a BA in Environmental Science from Ithaca College and a Master of Science in Teaching from SUNY Cortland. She spent ten years as an elementary school teacher, with a focus on developing science- and nature-based curricula.
Originally from New York State, Emma has lived in diverse landscapes across the country, from the mountains of New Mexico to the Great Lakes of Michigan and, of course, beautiful New England. Her experiences in these varied ecosystems have shaped her perspective and deepened her appreciation for the natural world. She is thrilled to return to New Hampshire, where she can immerse herself in the region’s rich ecological heritage.
Outside of work, Emma is a road trip fanatic and (sometimes over-eager) hiker. Her husband and excellent, ancient dog often accompany her on adventures. As a lifelong naturalist and outdoor enthusiast, she is dedicated to fostering connections between people and the natural world.
