A Fond Farewell to Dr. Ellen Holste

After nine remarkable years at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, Dr. Ellen Holste is stepping into a new chapter shaped by the passions she discovered here – public speaking, writing, and deepening connections to the natural world. From leading beloved community programs to inspiring curiosity in learners of all ages, Ellen’s impact is woven into the heart of PCCI. We are grateful for all she has brought to the Institute and excited to see where her journey leads next.
