Denise Ecker hails from Allentown, PA. She attended Penn State University and graduated with a degree in Biology. Denise worked here in The Swamp (as she refers to it to all of her friends) two seasons ago as a Seasonal Naturalist. When she was offered the position of Project PROTHO Field Technician (and sometimes guide), she eagerly jumped on the chance to return to South Carolina driving through a Nor’easter Snowstorm to make it back. When she isn’t jaunting around the swamp, Denise likes to spend her time reading, hiking and just generally being a nuisance to all the people around her...oh, and birding!
Amy’s hobbies include running, reading, hiking, cheering for Clemson football, and now -thanks to Beidler Forest- canoeing. She is very excited to be a seasonal naturalist and cannot wait for warmer weather and all the animals and plants that come along with it!
Spring is a fantastic time to bring students to the Francis Beidler Forest! All the education program information, including standards-based lessons, can be found on our webpage. Bring your class or encourage teachers to bring their classes to the swamp and help put these young ladies to work.
