Spotlight: Kelsey Moxley, Wetland Biologist!

Kelsey Moxley is a Wetland Biologist and Fields Project Manager at Scales Nature Park. Her boots-to-the-ground approach to fieldwork has her working up close with turtles, snakes, frogs, and salamanders. She closely monitors their populations to reduce or mitigate threats, protect their habitat, and engage the community in species-at-risk conservation!
Kelsey is also wild about wetlands. These productive ecosystems are incredibly biodiverse, from aquatic insects to carnivorous plants! Through education, Kelsey hopes to empower and engage youth to take action to protect and restore our wetlands.
