Name: Trevor Taylor
Age: 18
Crew: Crabtree Nature Center
What is your experience with conservation?
It’s my third year with the Chicago Conservation Leadership Corps. I also volunteers at local preserves throughout the year.
What is your favorite part of working with the CCLC?
I like making a difference that you can see.
Why are you passionate about the environment?
It’s where we live and it’s our job to take care of it. We can’t leave it to future generations because if we don’t take care of it now, there won’t be anything left for future generations.
If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
I would travel to the Wudang Mountains in China. I want to go to the Wudang Mountains because they are an extremely important site in Taoism. They’re also in the exact condition they were in hundreds of years ago.
