This week we are featuring Lily, a 2022 Bucktails alum. Watch the video below to hear Lily reflect on her experiences with the Academy and how the program has helped her find her voice!
This past weekend, the Academy hosted its first post-pandemic Advanced Educational Training, and it was tree-mendous! Exclusively designed for our Academy alumni, this unique weekend program offered an immersive experience in the forestry field and wood products industry.
This week we are flashing back to a blog written by Freya, a Bucktails and Ursids alum. Freya graduated from Warren Wilson College with a degree in Conservation Biology and a minor in Outdoor Leadership. Last summer, she worked for the Maria Michell Natural Science Museum, leading natural science programming, taking care of their live animals, and helping with research projects on Nantucket Island.
This week’s blog was written by Nathan, a 2019 Drummers alum. Nathan is a student at Penn State. He returned to field school this past summer as a member of the Academy Support Team.
