Hello!
 |
| Hiking the Fox Glacier in New Zealand |
My name is Ellen King and I am the newest Nature Net Intern! I just moved to the Madison area from Michigan (I’m not sorry) and am
passionate about outdoor and environmental education. I am a two time
AmeriCorps Alumnae from the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) and VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America).
This spring and what is left of winter, I will be working on
Nature Net’s monthly newsletters to teachers and parents, Earth Day Bouquet, delivering
Nature Net’s events to you, and much more!
Fun fact about me: In school, science was not my best
subject, nor was it one I was interested in learning about. After spending
several months completing ecological restoration in Southeast Wisconsin and
Southern Iowa this past year, I can admit that my past prejudices against
science are over. I have always been an outdoors-lover, but now find myself
interested in topics like climate change (click for a past blog on climate change), restoration, and the use of
herbicides and pesticides.
