Meet a Member: Erin Connell

Erin Connell, Texas Master Naturalist

Favorite animal: Sea Turtles

What I do when not I’m not a TMN:
I am a full-time software implementation consultant. When I’m not working or volunteering, I enjoy a wide variety of activities. Paddle boarding, Biking, Rollerblading, Traveling/Adventuring, Reading, Cooking, and Dining out.

My favorite TMN volunteer activity:
I love getting out in the field and getting my hands dirty. Whether it be planting trees, picking up trash, or removing invasive species. This type of work makes me feel connected to nature and to our mission and goal as an organization!

My favorite pastimes: Going on adventures, like a spontaneous camping trip to Moad, Utah with my friend and her dog, Teddy. We rented a HUGE jeep and went off-roading. It was a thrilling experience and the views were breath taking.
