We are excited to welcome Liz Guillen to our team as the new UNR Pack intern to assist with the Project ReCharge program. She grew up loving the outdoors, which started her passion for making the community around her more sustainable to ensure that both people and the environment can thrive in the same space. This inspired her to pursue a dual degree majoring in Environmental Science and  Forest Management and Ecology at the University of Nevada, Reno.  We can’t wait to see what her talents will bring to Envirolution!Read More →
