Let's see....here is my career in a nutshell...factory worker, camp counselor, park naturalist (music skills came in handy for the campfire programs), program coordinator for an environmental education center (I got paid for organizing and leading whale watches, backpacking trips, nature walks etc.), manager for three conservaiton districts, and now a farmland preservation specialist(wow I have been at this last job now for almost 12 years...yikes).
