  SCA FORCES Program Steward/Environmental Educator

  During this position I worked on social media, environmental education programming, and with invasive and endangered species in the field. While working on the FORCES social medias the accounts gained well over 400 followers altogether. Throughout the camping season I offered regular environmental education programs on the weekends to campers at Selkirk Shores State Park. The endangered species I worked with were the Great Lakes piping plovers, the American hart’s-tongue fern, and the Chittenango ovate amber snail. Some invasive species I worked on were pale swallow-wort, white-tailed deer, European dewberry, and garlic mustard. Show less
