Earlier this summer we welcomed our new Ecological Restoration Technician, Rebekah Helmich.

Rebekah has an Associate’s degree in Restoration Ecology from Lewis and Clark Community college with certifications in stormwater management and sustainable horticulture. She spent the last two years working on her college campus’s woods as well as volunteering around the Godfrey, Illinois area, and working with the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center’s strike team.

In her free time Rebekah enjoy collecting history books, gardening, camping, and hiking with her kids.
