Meet The Swamp Yankees!

Sarah

Sarah is a native New Yorker who moved to Connecticut, and over time has realized that there is so much more to life than the city. Her appreciation for the natural world is ever growing, and has led her to take part in canvassing on behalf of environmental movements, cleaning up hiking trails, and educating herself on how to live in harmony with her local ecosystem. When she’s not outside, she is on tour mixing live music, deploying PA systems, and noodling on her instruments. The act of land stewardship has given her more meaning and purpose in life, and she honors the opportunity to express gratitude through action to our planet for being a conduit for her connection to the divine.

Matt

Matt was born and raised in Connecticut, where he spent his time hiking, camping, and fishing, developing a strong passion for protecting the natural environment, coastal ecosystems, and sustainability. He attended Eastern Connecticut State University, where he earned his degree in Environmental Earth Science and contributed to a project mapping coastal erosion at Block Island’s shorelines. These days, you can find him in the garden or somewhere on the water.

Lily

Lily grew up in Connecticut and has spent the past four years living in Boston, earning a degree in Environmental Science from UMass Boston and doing land stewardship work. She has been fortunate to work on a range of environmental projects, from midnight wolf spider collection to bluebird monitoring, and has cemented a love for ecology! When she's not on the clock, she is usually reading, attending live music events, or at the movie theater.

Jakob

Jakob grew up in the foothills of California near Yosemite, where his love of nature began. He enjoys hitting the trails, gardening, skating with friends, and painting in his free time. He recently graduated from Unity Environmental University with a Bachelors degree in Sustainable Horticulture. He’s excited to join the team and to contribute to the exceptional work done here at Swamp Yankee Earthcare.

At college, they were involved in the Outing Club and several environmentalist organizations. In his free time, he loves hiking, camping, biking, playing the Mandolin, gardening, and reading.

Daisy

Daisy, born and raised in Connecticut, recently returned after getting a degree at the University of Vermont in Natural Resources with a concentration in Fisheries Biology. She loves traveling, with a soft spot for Southeast Asia, as well as spending time outdoors. A lifelong environmentalist, Daisy is excited to be part of the Swamp Yankee team.

Emily

Emily is from Northeast Ohio and has always had a passion for the environment. Starting her career as a community organizer for Sierra Club, by day she is now a committed nonprofit development professional. She has a full house with two dogs, three cats, and quail that she raises for their eggs. She enjoys living in the minutiae and is always looking for a new DIY project to tackle.

Lorelai

Lorelai was a pound puppy rescued after being abandoned on the side of the road. She is loyal, obedient, playful, cuddly, patient, and pretty smart. She loves rough-housing with other dogs, playing with kids, but is truly happiest in the forest. She really is the best dog.
