Meet the Everyday Scientist Behind the Stories.

I’m Pamela Zendt, a Georgia-based community scientist, Master Naturalist, and storyteller who loves exploring the connections between people and the natural world. Whether it’s studying trees, tracking turtles, or trekking trails, much of my life revolves around curiosity and care for the environment. With a background in environmental journalism and two years of hands-on citizen science, I’ve seen how even everyday people like me can make a difference.
