Conservation Pathways Visits Apalachicola Reserve

Conservation Pathways Executive Director Rebecca Means and six of her students visited the Apalachicola Reserve on Saturday, September 19, to explore potential careers in the environmental sciences. Training and Engagement Coordinator Anita Grove met with the students and shared the Reserve’s Meet the Staff story map, which illustrates the career paths Reserve staff took to reach their current positions. Following the discussion, the students visited the exhibits in the Nature Center and watched the Apalachicola River and Bay: Connected Ecosytem film. 

Conservation Pathways helps future conservation leaders find their way in the environmental sciences by providing students with field research, science communication, and professional development experiences. The program serves college and high school students who are exploring careers in natural resource management and provides short-term field research and volunteer opportunities. Conservation Pathways typically works with student organizations but also welcomes individuals interested in learning more about field research and careers in the natural resource professions.
