What is your conservation influence?
My conservation influence comes from my desire to explore, appreciate, and help save our planet and wildlife for future generations, including for my young son. I moved to Fargo in 2013 with my husband and we immediately gravitated to exploring the local parks with an early favorite being Orchard Glen and Lindenwood parks. I enjoy biking, hiking, and I thoroughly enjoy the abundance of wildlife I get to see and enjoy.
Favorite bird and why:
My favorite bird is the cardinal. It’s the state bird of Ohio, where I grew up. The bright red feathers are always a treat to see and something that reminds me of my family back home.
