Quinn Campbell - Local Botanist, Garden Manager & Desert Ecologist
Quinn is a local botanist, ecologist, gardener, and Nevada native. He has spent most of his career studying the native plants of Nevada and fire ecology in the Great Basin. He’s researched how to effectively restore burned plant communities in our Nevada deserts.
More recently, he began working as a garden manager for Farmily, one of our local non-profits partnered with the Boys and Girls Club to teach social-emotional learning through the garden and providing healthy food to the kids and their families.
As we learned about in our last episode, Farmily's newest project, Katie's Garden, is a collaboration with the Katie Grace Foundation, Boys and Girls Club, and Bridge Church, and will house a food forest, production garden, and native plant pollinator garden.
Quinn on his own also has begun hosting native plant walks to teach our community about the fascinating and diverse flora of our deserts.
Since recording this podcast we learned that Quinn was awarded a fellowship from the National Science Foundation and will be moving to Oahu, Hawaii to start his work towards his PhD. We are super excited and proud of Quinn and wish him all the best in professional eco journeys to make this world a greener place!
