What Students Say…
From Breanna Rodgers, former student worker and UCSC graduate: “The Arboretum was a formative space for me to learn land management and leadership skills, while also gracing me with the autonomy to learn from my actions. Growing in my personal and professional life in such a tranquil setting helped direct me toward a career in stewardship in the field of restoration ecology. I am so grateful to continue working outdoors”.
Breanna is now the Restoration Manager at the nonprofit Santa Lucia Conservancy.
