Hi, my name is Lily and I am a Conservation Ambassador. I want to Pay It Forward to the next generation of conservation leaders!
MY FUNDRAISING GOAL - $200
GOAL UPDATE: $425 OF $200 RAISED !
MY WLA STORY + WHY I WANT TO PAY IT FORWARD
I got involved with the program by chance, going into high school. I never really knew what I wanted to do for my career, but I knew I liked hanging out outside. Here I am, 5 years later, as a wildlife biology student, and it is clear the affect my Academy experience has given me. Throughout the years, I have taken a special interest in black bears through the unique exposure to radio telemetry during field school, however, my first field school at Bucktails will always have a special place in my heart.
I started off as a student myself, so I know the process everyone must go through to be admitted into the program. I believe all students are hardworking and capable of bringing a unique perspective to each field school, but it breaks my heart to think of anyone who is unable to attend for financial reasons. Now more than ever, conservation education is incredibly important and should be accessible to all, which is why I’m fundraising in hopes of supporting a student to attend the program via scholarship.
Thank you for helping me in Paying it Forward! ~ Lily
Here is a recent picture of me at this past summer’s Ursid field school as a staff member.
This is a picture of me working as Academy support. I think the picture really captures the happiness I get from helping new students every year.
Here is a picture of me when I was an apprentice. We got special behind-the-scene training for things such as trapping, which was my favorite part of the Apprentice Program.
After field school, I’ve taken up nature photography as a hobby. This is one of my favorite pictures taken while in Costa Rica.
