She loves being outdoors, looking for wildlife or being in the water. In the summer, her time is spent lifeguarding at her local pool.
Emma will be assisting with our outreach and education programs including our volunteer wetland monitoring program. Keep an eye out for newsletter articles and social media posts by Emma . Hopefully there will be in-person opportunities to meet her in the coming months.
