Lydia Nicholson

Lydia grew up with a multicultural family on both sides of the Atlantic, often finding it hard to claim one place as her own. But she’s most at home amid the prairies and plains of Kansas, where she pursued a degree in Digital Art and English from Bethany College. At The Land Institute, Lydia puts her creativity and background in peer tutoring to work. She approaches education as a storytelling challenge, inspiring new minds to connect with the power and importance of regenerative agriculture. 

My most perennial trait: Perception—I love looking at, listening to, drawing, and collecting the small things of the world. My favorites right now are jumping spiders, cicadas, and earthworms.
