HCAS Student’s Photo Chosen by National Wildlife Federation

Aside from working diligently as a student in the Halmos College of Arts and Sciences’ Environmental Science Program, Lexi Smith enjoys spending her time photographing the great outdoors.  Recently, one of her pictures was chosen to be part of a National Wildlife Federation collection supporting the planting of trees for wildlife.

The selected image depicts a white ibis standing on the branch of a pine tree and is part of the Trees for Wildlife™ boxed set.  For every set sold, the National Wildlife Federation has promised to partner with nonprofit organizations, schools, and local governments to plant native trees that rebuild areas which sustain wildlife.

The National Wildlife Federation is the largest conservation organization in America and works across the country to support wildlife and uphold conservation values.  Since 1936, the association has been working to increase fish and wildlife populations while helping them thrive in an ever-changing world.

Lexi Smith is part of the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences BS of Environmental Science Class of 2022.  More of her photos can be found on Instagram @lexismith_photography
