NCCT is pleased to welcome Lexi Peirce to the team as Stewardship & Development Assistant!
Lexi recently joined NCCT as the Stewardship and Development Assistant for a spring internship from January to May 2022. She is currently a senior at UW-Stevens Point studying Natural Resource Planning with a minor in Sustainable Energy and a certificate in Spanish. Lexi grew up in the Madison region of South-Central Wisconsin and has always had a love for nature. By having a constant connection to nature through family in agriculture and participating in outdoor activities, it was an easy choice to come to UWSP and choose a major that would contribute to a lifelong career in the natural resource field. She is also excited to be a part of NCCT and experience land conservation efforts hands-on that will aid in creating better and more mindful land practices for current and future generations. Lexi believes that more of today’s people are losing their own connections to nature due to the loss of natural lands through urbanization and increasing development. Thus, land conservation is a key part of bringing back people’s access and personal connection to the natural landscape around them. Lexi is looking forward to the time she will be working with NCCT and everyone who is a part of the organization, as well as applying the skills obtained through this internship to her future endeavors after graduation.
