Since Jennie Garlington was exposed to environmental issues at a young age, she launched a lifetime commitment to stewardship and sustainability. An accomplished television producer, Jennie parlayed her passion for the environment into her career. From 1994 to 2001 when she served as an associate producer at CNN Environment Unit's EARTH MATTERS. She produced stories on such timely issues as the proposed mine on the Okefenokee; the fate of the Ossabaw Island; the future of Cumberland Island; the migration of Right whales in Florida; and the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park. Environmental stewardship is central to Jennie's community involvement as well.
