Erica Place

Communications & Outreach Manager

Erica Place

Originally from a suburb of Houston, Texas, Erica has always sought out quiet, natural spaces. An Animal Ecology degree from ISU and many subsequent nature jobs have helped her foster an unwavering passion for protecting and improving the environment and gives a unique lens to her work in communications. Erica spends her free time with binoculars in hand (self-proclaimed bird nerd), loves to hike and garden, and strives to help others find their own connection with nature.
