Holly spinden, Seasonal restoration Technician

Holly is one of the two seasonal technicians working on the Sinking Creek Farm restoration project in Roanoke, Virginia. Holly is originally from Fort Collins, Colorado, but gained her love of botany when she lived in Missouri for two years and was fascinated by the southeastern flora found there. She earned her bachelor’s degree in biology/botany at Colorado State University. She has since worked as the collections manager for the CSU herbarium and spent two seasons working for the Colorado Natural Heritage Program, monitoring wetlands in Wyoming and Colorado. Holly is new to Virginia but excited to be back in the southeast and to explore all it has to offer!
