Hopland REC

My name is Maggie (she/her), HREC's newest GrizzlyCorps fellow, alongside Brenda. Under the mentorship of Hannah Bird and John Bailey, I will be supporting the REC in land management projects and youth education programs. I hail from Milton, Massachusetts, a town just south of Boston.

At the onset of my fellowship I was nervous about spending too much time alone. Living by myself in a cottage on a ~5,500 acre remote research site stood in stark contrast to my urban upbringing in the East Bay Area.
