I am a 20 year old in my third year at SUNY Plattsburgh, studying Environmental Science. Growing up on the St. Lawrence has really been the foundation for my love and appreciation for the environment. I look forward to working as a Summer Land Steward, making it easier for others to be able to access and enjoy the River and the region surrounding it.
