Here’s a little more about Gavin:
After graduating from Rockhurst University with his Bachelor’s in Biology, he worked as a botanist for the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Institute of Botanical Training. He has since joined Johnson County Parks and Rec as a Natural Resource Technician conducting species inventories, invasive species removals, and prescribed fire. He volunteers his time tabling, teaching, and collecting seed for nonprofits KC Wildlands and Deep Roots. You can find him birding, botanizing, lichening, mothing, and fishing in-and-around the Kansas City Metro.
