Steven is currently finishing his master's at the University of Connecticut, studying people's perceptions of roadside tree trimming. The goal of the project is to create more sustainable management decisions to mitigate conflicts. He has an interest in invasive species, native pollinators, and map-making. Steven likes using iNaturalist, which is an online community of citizen scientists, to document and discover species found while exploring local protected areas.
