As someone who has had the privilege of spending countless hours exploring the wilderness in various corners of this world, including the Bluff Trail and surrounding areas, I feel a strong commitment to habitat preservation and wildlife protection. My professional work is in the area of psychological science (I am a professor of psychology at Saint Mary’s University – my research area is forensic psychology). Although I do not have academic or professional experience in these areas, I am willing to work with others to protect the Woodens River Watershed and ensure that any human footprints do not jeopardize this important ecosystem.
