Rachel Haldorson – SITW Great Horned Owl Class 2013

Current Life Situation:

I am a Junior at Colorado State University and my major is Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology. I am also getting a minor in Entomology. I am the Vice President of the Entomology Club and also the Outreach Coordinator for the club. We visit schools and work at public events to teach the public about invertebrates.

SITW Impact on your life:

The Spring Field Project of Terrestrial Invertebrates ignited my passion for invertebrates and the natural world. Wikitown had a big impact and helped bolster my creativity. It helped me see things in a different light. It helped me learn how we are interconnected with nature.

Special Memory:

All of it! It was all so much fun. The overnight stands out as a coming of age, to get to stay overnight, outside, without parents.

SITW Should always:

connect kids with nature.
