Urban Forests and the Role they Play in Conservation and Education
Join us for the Fall 2025 Geographic and Environmental Sciences Seminar Series!
Our guest on September 25th, Jessica Kane, is a Park & Recreation Administrator with Louisville Metro Parks and Recreation out at Jefferson Memorial Forest.
Jessica (she/her) received a degree in Environmental Studies from Eckerd College in Florida. In addition to her degree, she is a certified Park Professional (CPRP), certified in environmental education, First Aid/CPR, and scuba! Nature and environmental education have always been a part of Jessica’s life. Watching children experience the forest for the first time is what drives her love for JMF. Promoting and advocating for equitable access to nature for everyone is also a personal passion. When not working at the forest, Jessica enjoys yoga, hiking with her pup, and cooking.
At this seminar, Jessica will discuss "Urban Forests and the Role they Play in Conservation and Education."
