We are very excited to welcome AmeriCorps member Mary Applegate and interns Jason Edwards, Brandon Glowacki and Matt Oxley to the CRA team. They’ll have their eyes, ears and feet on the ground collecting data in the Muskegon, Betsie and Manistee watersheds.
Matt Oxley is originally from Traverse City and is currently attending the University of Michigan. He’ll graduate next year with an environmental engineering degree. He’s hoping to learn more about watershed and wildlife management this year and make a difference in the place he loves.
Brandon Glowacki is also a native of Traverse City. He graduated this spring from Central Michigan University with a concentration on geography. He’s traveled extensively across the U.S. visiting over 25 states and a variety of national parks. He’s eager to see firsthand how restoration projects affect the landscape and learn more about careers in natural resources.
Jason Edwards is from Greenville and moved to Traverse City last August. While serving in the U.S. Army, Jason traveled extensively including Korea, much of Europe and the Middle East and back again. He’s currently enrolled in the Freshwater Studies program at Northwestern Michigan College. He’ll graduate at the end of year and hopes to learn more about watershed restoration and analysis while working at CRA.
Mary Applegate joins the CRA team through the Huron Pines AmeriCorps program. She is from the Grand Rapids area and graduated in 2010 from Albion College with a major in biology. Mary spent the last four years in Florida and Gulf Coast with extensive experience with marine mammals and sea turtles. She's very excited to to be back in Michigan helping restore, preserve and educate others about our rivers and streams.
