tap, tap, tap... is this thing on?


Hey guys, Melinda here, the new Leave No Trace intern!  I just moved up to Boulder from Texas, where I am currently finishing my last year at Baylor University.  I am majoring in Outdoor Recreation, and am excited to be a part of LNT while earning my degree!  I have spent a couple of summers living, hiking, and climbing around Colorado and am glad to have returned here!  I have had the opportunity of taking two NOLS courses over the past few years, a Semester in Patagonia, and an Outdoor Educator Mountaineering course in the Pacific Northwest.  My summers in Colorado as well as my experiences with the NOLS have led me to understand the importance of Leaving No Trace and practicing minimizing our footprint on the environment.  I am excited to see what my internship at Leave No Trace has in store for me!
