Summer 2026 Conservation Interns:
Fiona Southers
Hi! My name is Fiona Southers and I just graduated from NKU in May with BA in anthropology and minor in environmental science. Through college, I l gained credentials in GIS and environmental education and worked with ARI during an archaeology field school. I love to learn about history and the environment by going outside and getting my hands dirty. I can usually be found in water and exploring creeks whenever I can to look for critters. I am excited to work with BCCD to learn from people interested in protecting natural history and wildlife and gain skills for my future career in conservation. I am also excited to share my knowledge and give outdoor experiences to the younger generations in our area!
Maxwell Holt
My name is Maxwell Holt, born and raised here in Northern Kentucky! I graduated from EKU in the Fall of 2025 with a bachelor's in wildlife management with a focus on conservation, a minor in biology and a university certificate in GIS. I am passionate about conservation and birds, where I spend my free time learning their calls and doing wildlife photography! I've worked across the state and country, and I am excited for this opportunity to assist in my community!
