Conor O’Sullivan Selected for the North Shore Land Alliance’s Inaugural College Internship Program.
We are excited to welcome Conor to the 2016 O’Neil Conservation Steward Program. He is part of the very first group of students in this initiative.
Conor graduated from Hunter College with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Environmental Studies. Conor’s interest in conservation has taken precedence and he has worked for the Greenbelt Native Plant Center where he learned to collect and process native seeds. Volunteering at the Hempstead Plains Environmental Education Center he removed invasive plants. With the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, he was an environmental educator and led teens on camping trips in the Adirondacks.
