Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy

Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy is pleased to introduce and welcome this year’s summer intern – Eleni Katsos!  Eleni is a life-long resident of Loudoun County and is currently a student at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, WV.  Eleni is a rising senior and  is pursuing a major in environmental science with a minor in resource management. 

Some of Eleni’s projects include constructing a green house for Shepherd University through her sustainable agriculture class and participating in a land use project where she compiled a soil survey for Hendrick’s farm, one of Shepherd University’s undeveloped properties to determine suitability uses.  Eleni also installed two bee hives for educational purposes as part of the Gold Award project at Rust Nature Sanctuary. 

Eleni will be working in the field to support LWC’s habitat restoration projects at Waterford’s Phillips Farm, coordinating the removal of invasives at other sites around the county, assisting our bluebird nestbox monitoring program through data entry, working with our nature camp leaders during camp, and assisting our committee chairs with other smaller tasks that need to be accomplished.
