Emily and Jeff are two fantastic people who have long had a strong connection to wildlife, and had their lives enriched by nature. Emily's longstanding commitment to Kestrel and Jeff's career as an ecologist are testaments to their care for the natural world. Before they ever met, Emily's graceful and fearless handling of every size snake at Kestrel events and Jeff's dedication to helping our partners at Gordon College design the LookLook wildlife trading cards accurately were both legendary at Kestrel. From their earliest dates scouring the dunes for breeding woodcocks, Jeff and Emily's romance has been blessed with nature. We are so delighted that they are joining forces officially, and honored that they are choosing to request donations to Kestrel as wedding presents.
We at Kestrel promise to repay the favor of your donation by bringing joy in learning, immersion in nature, knowledge of wildlife, and time for wondering and imagination into the lives of thousands of children every year.
