Whattup!

Amateur birder, herper, land steward, and aspiring restoration ecologist pursuing my Masters in ENVS at Stockton University. Spent undergrad at Arcadia University where I received a B.S in Conservation Biology. Piney by heart, I have an obsession with the Pine Barrens and by extension, all things natural. Mostly focused on birds, native plants, and herps, but I do NOT discriminate...all organisms get love. I work with the NJDEP's Division of WRM, I'm currently a part of the Pinelands Alliance Advanced Plant course and looking to become involved with research projects dealing with ornithology, habitat restoration, or honestly anything ecological.

Hoping to join groups or make friends that want to nerd out about birds, plants, herps or anything in general. Follow @nature_lerg on instagram to see my photo collection and reach out if you're interested in hiking, kayaking, herping, birding, or literally anything in the Pine Barrens area.
