New Student Conservation Associate Provides Educational Outreach Capacity to LCC and Refuge

A recent graduate of George Mason University, Kelly René is working with both the Appalachian LCC and the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge as a educational outreach specialist.

Through the Student Conservation Association, Kelly is working out of the Refuge's Williamstown, West Virginia location and developing interpretive materials to provide the general public with a greater understanding and appreciation of Refuges and their role in the Appalachian landscape. This position - partially funded by the LCC - is enhancing outreach capacity for the Refuge while reinforcing the mission of the LCC and the message of working at a landscape level.

The Student Conservation Association mission is to build the next generation of conservation leaders and inspire lifelong stewardship of the environment and communities by engaging young people in hands-on service to the land.
