MS Natural Resources & Ecology

SUNY Plattsburgh

My name is Lydia Harvey. I am a graduate student in the Natural Resources and Ecology program. My interest is in wetlands, and I hope to pursue a career as a wetland scientist after college. To gain more experience in this field, I decided to go the internship route and hopefully become a certified wetland scientist. My favorite type of wetland is bogs! They have carnivorous plants, lots of sphagnum moss and other unique species. Outside of class I love to be outdoors hiking, camping, and paddling. Another interest of mine is botany. I love identifying and learning about plants, and all available window space in my apartment is occupied by my growing collection of house plants.
