Growing up immersed in the great outdoors taught Karie the importance of protecting and conserving our natural resources so that they are here for generations to come.

Kerstin Alander

Manager

A childhood of chasing dragonflies and lizards led to Kerstin majoring in Entomology and Environmental Studies at Texas A&M University. She went on to work at three different AZA accredited Zoological facilities and she strives to bring that same level of care to the animals here at the Nature Center.

“Our Animal Ambassadors are in a unique position to make meaningful connections between guests and wildlife. With our Ambassadors help, my goal is to encourage guests to participate in conservation work of their own and to teach them about our natural world.”
