KELLEE BYARD
A University of Michigan honors graduate, environmentalist, educator, & artist employed by the National Wildlife Federation
WELCOME TO KELLEE BYARD'S WEBSITE
I have an enduring passion for the outdoors and its health, and that is why I graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Program in the Environment. Interning at UM's Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum further grew my love of nature.
I was even awarded its Nanette LaCross Student Prize.
Now an environmentalist, I dedicate myself to fieldwork, conservation, stewardship, and education. Read my most recent blogpost on how to aid wildlife. Further, I have a strong social conscience and embrace diversity and justice for all. I am always working toward making every area I serve more equitable. Please read my essay on elitism's impact on the environment.
At the Pacific Northwest National Wildlife Federation in Seattle, Washington, I was involved in a variety of activities to create a conservation coalition to preserve our wildlife. Activities included developing and executing hands-on programs/classes, policy development, community outreach, and more.
Further, as a Youth Development Professional for the Seattle Boys & Girls Club, I educate a diversity of youth and plan and implement educational and other programming to enrich children's after-school experience.

Thank you.
