As our season comes to an end, I am both mourning the loss of my crew and the MCC community I have been a part of for months, and looking forward to the future. Although I am uncertain of my own path, I have loved hearing about the diverse range of plans my friends have after MCC. From ski lift attendants to college students, forest service to military service, travel, continuing conservation work, and re-joining MCC in the spring, and of course, much like me, just going with the flow.

Serving with MCC has provided me with experiences I never thought I would have. Of course, I gained professional experience. But I also got to explore Montana, make friends, and learn more about plants and wildlife.
