{"id":956,"name":"wenkea","url":"","description":"I have spent most of my life snuggled between the Olympic Mountains and the Cascades, Wa. This has influenced my life in many ways, both good and bad I suppose...I grew up in a little town called Poulsbo which is primarily Norwegian heritage-influenced. I received a B.S. in Biology: Ecology, Evolution & Conservation at the University of Washington. Most of my studies thus far have focused on disturbances and plant ecology. I conducted research on Mount St. Helens under the guidance of Dr. Roger del Moral, studying primary succession and species assemblages. \r\n\r\nAs of recently I was accepted into the Conservation and Land Management Intership Program (CLM), and am spending this beautiful summer in the Four Corners region of New Mexico collecting seeds as part of the Seeds of Success program (SOS).","link":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/?author=956","slug":"wenkea","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/f6d63241ef453e2e62c1a5d75101f995?s=24&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/f6d63241ef453e2e62c1a5d75101f995?s=48&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/f6d63241ef453e2e62c1a5d75101f995?s=96&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/956"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
