Amy Carpenter

Amy is a senior at the University of Maryland, College Park. She is majoring in Environmental Science and Policy with a concentration in Wildlife Ecology & Management, which she plans to pursue at the graduate level after college at Virginia Tech or Penn State. This is Amy’s second trail position with the SCA. She had her first experience participating in the Alternate Spring Break in the Charles Bronson State Forest in Florida, cutting new trail and constructing a boardwalk through a swamp. She loved the experience of hands-on conservation, and working in a team of like-minded individuals. When not working on trails, she loves spending time with the University’s horses, and her brothers and sisters of her biological professional fraternity, B.I.O. Amy is greatly looking forward to serving in the George Washington and Jefferson forests, in which she has spent lots of time hiking and camping over the course of her life. She is excited to give back to an environment which has, in part, inspired her love of the wilderness.
