Paul Willey

Paul Willey is the Director of Education Operations at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF). He has worked for the environment for over 30 years and believes that sharing the outdoors is a wonderful thing to do. Paul has been a good friend for many years, first engaging with the TKF Foundation over two decade ago. He continues to work closely with Nature Sacred through our partnership with CBF, as well as supporting our Bench Program. He has many responsibilities at CBF, including serving as the captain/manager of three education programs: Fox Island, Smith Island, and the Arthur Sherwood Program. He has taught thousands of students and hundreds of teachers during his time as an educator. In addition to his role as a Firesoul for the 3 Sacred Places he stewards, Paul was an integral part of creating the first Sacred Places, building some of the very first Nature Sacred benches. Today, he continues to help build benches to be installed in new sites and repair benches in existing Sacred Places.
