This week’s blog was written by Micaela J., a Bucktails alumni. Micaela is interested in pursuing a career in engineering, although she hasn’t decided what type of engineering she would like to go into yet. Last summer Micaela attended Northampton County Junior Conservation School which sparked her interest in the environment and how we impact it. That program led her to learn about the Wildlife Leadership Academy, which she soon wanted to attend because of its focus on conservation and learning about the plants and animals in our environment.
This weeks blog post is from Eileen C., a Bucktails and Gobblers alumni! In lieu of the approaching winter snowstorm, her blog post reminds us Spring and warmer days to come.

This week’s blog post is written by Peter, a monthly blog correspondent and Bucktails and Ursids alumni. He shares with us lots of great info about a diminutive little woodland creature – who has a way of “keeping its cool” throughout the harrowing winter months!
