Emma Stephens
Stewardship / Restoration Project Manager
I AM…
a diligent, caring, thoughtful, and practical person that seeks to explore life meaningfully and joyfully.
I BELIEVE…
that we are capable of reforming our relationship with the environment, transforming it from one characterized by exploitation to one of mutual respect and understanding. That the persistence of our communities depends upon our awakening to how interconnected life is, locally and globally. That we are not as alone as we think we are.
