Jenna Loveman began volunteering as a Summer Youth Steward in 2021 and has returned each summer since. Jenna started volunteering at the Nature Center because she was looking for a way to get involved in her community and protect the environment. Throughout Jenna’s summers at the Nature Center, she has assisted in removing countless invasive plants and planting native plants. She has thoroughly enjoyed being able to learn about ecology, making connections with people of all ages interested in nature, and doing her part to conserve the local land. Jenna has also volunteered with bird banding, and she volunteered at the Nature Center for her Senior Project. She is a freshman at Skidmore College and is majoring in Environmental Science.
