Megan MacDonald

A midwestern native, Megan MacDonald now lives and works in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, as an environmental scientist. After four cold years at school in New England, Megan was ready to get back to the Great Plains and get her hands dirty learning more about natural systems agriculture and the carbon cycle. Nowhere else but The Land Institute would she have the opportunity to collect soil carbon samples with a geoprobe while listening to Led Zeppelin in the Kansas sun. So Megan joined a crew of field interns for a summer of learning and living at the Land Institute.

My most perennial trait is Pluck – Life unfolds in proportion to courage.
