Naturalist
Rebecca is Spring Creek Ranch’s Naturalist Intern this summer. Born in Minnesota, Rebecca moved to Wyoming with her family when she was six and had the pleasure of growing up in Star Valley, which is about forty-five miles south of Jackson. Rebecca and her family have always taken full advantage of living so close to nature: hiking, camping, horseback riding, rafting and canoeing in the summers; sledding, skiing and snowshoeing in the winters. Her love and awe of the natural world developed as she grew up in beautiful western Wyoming. This summer she is looking forward to showing off her “backyard” to the guests of Spring Creek Ranch. Rebecca attended the University of Northern Colorado and earned her degree in elementary education with an emphasis in history and biology.
