My Biography

Submitted by Mindy Block on Mon, 08/25/2008 - 8:57am.

Background

I am a conservationist and writer that love's being in the great outdoors. I have experience in field biology, natural resource management, and organizational analysis. I travel  to improve my appreciation of quality parks and how they are managed. I reside on Long Island and have worked with many local groups and government agencies to plant trees, clean up parks, restore shellfish beds, monitor piping plovers, generate fire awareness reports, collect and grow out native seeds, monitor tick populations, and support local farmers as a farmhand.
