Bennett '17
I learned to make sourdough bread in the Carr Hall kitchen with Eric Pallant, long nights spent with friends in Chris Shaffer’s GIS lab patiently waiting for software to finish computing, and working closely with Kelly Boulton to get students to cut back on their footprint during the October Energy Challenge. I also met my fiancé, Jenny Tompkins, and so many other great friends, through the ES department.
The Foundation for Sustainable Forests conserves forested land throughout northwest PA and NY and stewards the woodlands it protects as sustainable working forests. My work includes working with landowners to ensure the legacy of their woodlands through conservation, holding educational programs about sustainable forest management and stewardship, and supporting the local community through sustainably harvested forest products.
Bennett studied environmental science and community & justice studies at Allegheny College.
