Dorna SchroeterDorna Schroeter grew up exploring the woods, streams, and ponds around her home. In college, she discovered outdoor education and knew she had found her calling.

During her 37 years at BOCES, Dorna created many amazing programs introduce young people to the natural world and their place in it. Since retiring, Dorna has focused on using the power of stories to inspire curiosity and a sense of wonder for our natural world. Her first two stories, "The Story of Velcro" and "The Story of Eco-Machines," introduced young readers to the fascinating world of biomimicry. "We Are One" is her third story. She has several others in the works.
