Congratulations to Jack Wooten, who has been interning with us for the past 5 months, on his graduation from Cooper High School! Jack has been a very valuable member of our team and played a huge role in the management of our Center for Conservation during his time with us.

One of his most notable projects was the design and construction a covered garden where our Forest Health Specialist, James, will grow trees to be planted around the property.

Please join us in congratulating Jack on a job well done and wishing him luck in the next steps of his career!
