Walk Leaders: Christie Nichols (she/her) and Chelsea Corning (she/her)
Christie was born in Pennsylvania, and has lived in 9 states, but has been in Oregon for over 25 years. She earned her B.Sc. at Oregon State University in Fish and Wildlife Science, and then went off to graduate school to get a M.Sc. in Fisheries Research and Aquaculture. Most of her career has revolved around moving to different locations of the country based on spawning cycles of fish, but she finally learned that her favorite thing to do is to help people achieve their own career goals in the name of natural resource conservation. In March 2024, she accepted the position as the BLM Manager for the West Eugene Wetlands and has been excited to come back to the Willamette Valley.
Chelsea was born and raised in Eugene Oregon. She obtained a B.S. in Environmental Science with an emphasis in Ecology from North Carolina. Her career has included Lepidoptera surveys at Crater Lake National Park, Botany and Ecology surveys in Burns and Lake County, Wildlife surveys in the Oregon Coast Range.
