Birds & Bees of the Pinnacles

 
 

Chris Symons has been working with the National Park Service since 2018, but has been interested in Environmental Education since he was a child. Chris studied Environmental Science, Journalism, and Education at Michigan State University, and received his Eagle Scout rank in the Boy Scouts of America building a rain garden project that is still in operation today. While he spends his days in a Ranger's flat hat talking about the birds and bees of Pinnacles, he also enjoys reading, boating, discovering new crafts and hobbies, and (poorly) playing his mandolin.
