Urban Ecology Center’s Post

Meet Devin, our Grants Manager! She loves going to different Lake Michigan beaches with her family (the sounds of the waves, the view, exploring trails, and playing in the sand with my kids is the best!), going to the library, and checking out new restaurants/food trucks. We sat down with Devin to learn more about what makes her an Eco Enthusiast. 🌿If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why? I would love to go to Puerto Rico with my family- the food, the music, the rainforest, the beaches-- it is on our family bucket list for top destinations to visit! 🌿What/where is the place that continuously brings out your child-like wonder? When I have visited my husband's family in Ecuador, I am always amazed at the incredible biodiversity and breath-taking views. The wildlife and mountain drives definitely inspire me to explore more. 🌿What’s your favorite childhood memory of being in nature? My grandpa would take my brother and me on weekly Sunday adventures- we'd walk around Kletzsch Park by the river and look for fish and wildlife. Definitely formed awesome core memories with some of my favorite people!
