November 9, 6:00 - 7:30 pm, Presentation
Haley Perez, recent graduate of Fort Lewis College (FLC) is now serving as the AmeriCorps member on the education team for Mountain Studies Institute in Durango, CO. Due to her passion for the health of our environment, Haley pursued a degree in Environmental Studies and Public Health. During her college career, Haley held a project lead position at the FLC environmental center where she spent a little over two semesters working on a producing a native species field guide for San Juan Mountains Association and the Durango Nature Center. This field guide was created from scratch, entailing much trial and error as well as many successes along the way. Taking over 180 hours to complete, Haley will be talking through the creation as well as the process it took to achieve a completed native species field guide that is now used as an educational tool to identify the vegetation around the Durango Nature Center.
