Nicole Freidenfelds

Visiting Assistant Extension Educator

Education:

• MS 2006 University of New Hampshire, Natural Resources
• BS 2001 Eastern Connecticut State University, Biology

Outreach Activities:

As an Assistant Extension Educator, I coordinate or contribute to all of the environmental action programs within UConn’s Natural Resources Conservation Academy, with particular emphasis on the Eco-Digital Storytellers. Previously, I led the NSF-funded Conservation Training Partnerships, a (now-retired) collaborative program that brought teen and adult volunteers together to apply geospatial technology tools toward local conservation projects in their own community. I worked with land trusts, non-profit organizations, and municipal agencies to mentor/advise many unique and varied intergenerational conservation projects throughout the state.
