This is Tyler's first year as a Project Leader with the SCA Conservation Corps Native Plants. His background is based in Environmental Science, with degrees in Environmental Systems and Urban Studies and Planning from the University of California San Diego.
Tyler has worked with various conservation organizations in the past and has traveled the world to learn more and support conservation/restoration efforts. Past projects include work in the North Island of New Zealand, in the rainforests of Belize and in canyon communities in Mexico. Projects he has been involved with range from native habitat restoration, invasive species management, trail building, environmental/outdoor education and community development.
Tyler enjoys getting into the field and all the tough jobs that come along with it. Hiking, backpacking, camping and many other outdoor activities are some of the hobbies on his favorite list. He is happy to be working with Cuyahoga Valley National Park, wants to improve upon his leadership skills, hopes to learn more about the local issues the Park faces and to help out wherever he can.
