Meet the 2022-2023 Team
We are a group of students that cooperatively create projects and opportunities to connect people through ecological restoration. Currently, we are trying out a new leadership structure in which committees are responsible for guiding the implementation of our main projects. The committee leaders work together to implement our projects supported by our work-study student, directors-at-large, and a robust volunteer base.
