“Last summer I went away to work in Yellowstone for six weeks. I worked through the youth conservation core and it was just an incredible experience. It was super awesome, definitely unlike another thing I’ve ever done before. Hopefully I will be able to continue doing something like that. This summer, I’m looking at a couple conservation cores around the country. There is one in Minnesota I’ve been watching and hoping to apply for. On a day-to-day basis, it’s not just national parks, but I think conservation of our planet in general is incredibly important. I wish that it was something that could be integrated into our daily lives more so. I’m a big advocate for just like recycling and reducing single-use plastic and stuff like that.”
