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.
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.
Matt
