In his own words, “The more that people feel personally connected to nature, the more they want to see it protected. I’m hoping my passion for animals, history, and the outdoors can motivate people into not only becoming more involved in the natural world but also give them a better understanding of their place in it.”
We are fortunate to have Brant with his passion and perspective join an already stellar board.
