Hallie Sykes

Education Associate

Hallie Sykes joined Triangle in early 2022. Her work involves delivering educational programming on conservation topics to local schools and inspiring younger generations to practice thoughtful resource stewardship.  In her 10 year nonformal education career so far, she has experience teaching students about recycling, water quality and conservation, compost, energy and more and is thrilled to continue this important effort with Triangle.

Hallie has a B.A. in Environmental Science and holds a certification for environmental education through the Colorado Alliance for EE, and is trained to support Next Generation Science Standards and student-driven inquiry. After several years doing interpretation at a Colorado wetlands nature center, Hallie moved to Washington and worked in a multi-industry partnership with WSU Extension in an effort to bring commercially made compost to local farm fields through outreach and research trials. Next, combining her experience in sustainable agriculture and environmental education, Hallie spent five years hosting farm-based field trips in the Snoqualmie Valley, developing curriculum in collaboration with a team of farmer educators and managing an educational children’s farm. In addition to her work at Triangle, she continues garden-based education & school garden support, as well as experiential summer camps and field trips. Hallie uses filmmaking as a platform for education, and has produced nearly 100 educational films, including on her own YouTube channel.

Hallie enjoys travel, camping, exploring the great outdoors and sharing meals with her community of friends. Her self-designated happy place is at a farmer’s market or around a firepit, or enjoying a movie at home with her husband and cat.
