He has spent the last two years as a paralegal at a Los Angeles law firm, but has also spent time volunteering and working on a mayoral campaign in his hometown. He is excited by the opportunity to make an environmental impact locally through his position at PVAS, and is hoping this experience serves as a foundation for a career in land management and conservation.

She is also an active member of the WVU student chapter of The Wildlife Society. Growing up in West Virginia, Lily has always felt passionate about the outdoors, learning about the natural world, indulging in the local cryptid lore, and collecting the coolest stickers for her water bottle. This is her second summer with PVAS and she’s excited to be back serving the community. Fair warning, if you are ever hiking along the trails with Lily, be prepared to make a million stops, because spotting and identifying plants and critters along the way is a must!

As we meander through the well-maintained, shaded trails, we’ll enjoy the sights and sounds of nature—from birdsong overhead to the rustling of leaves underfoot. The park’s blend of natural and cultural history offers both a peaceful escape and a glimpse into the past.
