Originally from Ohio, Rae once imagined building her life in her home state. However, after spending the summer of 2023 with the Montana Conservation Corps, everything changed. Captivated by Montana’s natural beauty and the meaningful connections she formed in the field, Rae knew she didn’t want to leave. Now in her third summer under the Big Sky, she’s embraced Montana as home and is excited to continue her journey in conservation and restoration with Anabranch Solutions.
