NF Native & CVRLT Secretary Nicole Vesey s Lifelong Love of Nature Written by Candlewood Valley Regional Land Trust
New Fairfield native Nicole Vesey enjoys a career in the healthcare industry, and continues her lifelong connection to nature as the Cadlewood Valley Regional Land Trust s (CVRLT) Secretary.
While growing up in New Fairfield, Nicole recalls, I ve always had a connection to nature. As a Western CT State University and UConn student, she adds, I majored in biology because I m so fascinated with the natural world and all its beauty and mystique. During her 4-month volunteer internship with the Conservation Ecology Centre at Cape Otway, Victoria, Australia Nicole took care of all of the animals we rescued, researched the endangered Tiger Quoll’s community behavior in the wild, and helped research the soil makeup of the manna gum trees to find out why they were dying.
