Watershed Conservation Field Technician
email
Frances grew up on a small grass-fed cattle and sheep farm in Juniata County, Pennsylvania. After pursuing a bachelor’s in Environmental Science at Chatham University, she has spent the last five years traveling and working in seasonal jobs all around the country. Her work includes doing avian and entomology research at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, a year with the Western Colorado Conservation Corp’s Women’s fire crew, and a season with the National Park Service on a wildland fire crew. After moving closer to home, she was looking for work that would bridge her background in ecology and conservation fieldwork with her agricultural roots, and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay was just the place. She is excited to work in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and to participate in building habitat and reforestation. Outside of work, Frances enjoys volunteering, hiking, looking for bugs, cooking, knitting, spinning yarn, reading, and playing games.
