Welcome Matt to the Team!

Matt SchMidt will be working as a Summer Field Technician. Learn more about Matt below:

I am an undergraduate student at CSU seeking a degree in Ecosystem Science and Sustainability with the intent to pursue a graduate degree in Ecology. Growing up in Colorado and spending significant time traveling about the rest of the Southwestern U.S., I hope to focus my studies on the ecosystems that have brought me the most joy, from high desert to the alpine. My experience at the Ridge over the past two field seasons has continued to allow me to learn a variety of field research techniques and has served to only deepen my passion for ecology. When I’m not at the ridge, you can find me spending more time outside whether it be skiing, biking, climbing, or hiking.
