Rebecca Wessel

Education Program Specialist

Rebecca grew up in Maryland and was drawn to environmental sciences through biking along the local creek and visiting wetlands on the Chesapeake Bay.  She received a BA in Environmental Studies from Yale where she concentrated in Environmental Justice. Rebecca is interested in community science approaches to ecological and environmental research and increasing access to nature and nature-based education.  She enjoys working with kids of all ages and being outside. She is a big fan of bogs and frogs (spring peepers, specifically).  In addition to spending time in nature, Rebecca loves to cook, do crossword puzzles, watch women's soccer, and make crafts.
