Americorps Eco-Garden Steward: Britt Retzlaff. I have found TreeUtah on my path to creating Eden on Earth. I am a recent graduate of the Environmental Studies program at the University of Utah. During my studies, I found myself distressed by dominant paradigms including that of industrialized agriculture and inculturated helplessness, patterns that perpetuate non-localized economies, disconnected individuals and communities, and so much more. I am excited to be working with TreeUtah. I feel that ecological gardening and community forestry, the programs that I will be supporting as an intern, are pursuits that will not only refashion our urban and suburban spaces into beautiful life-giving places, but also revive our idea of how to be an engaged and conscientious member of our biotic and urban communities.
Americoprs Ecological Restoration Specialist: Ryan McDaniel. Hello there,my I am just starting out this year with TreeUtah. I am a native to Salt Lake and am very exited to be given the opportunity to contribute to making my community a better place. I am especially looking forward to the restoration project along the Jordan River because in my younger years I spent most of my days playing and riding my bike along side it and very much look forward to someday seeing the entire river restored where we can all enjoy it for many generations to come. I look forward to meeting everyone involved with this great organization and can't wait to plant some trees.
