Summary

My name is Landon Books. I am 18 years old from Appleton Wisconsin and I am seriously passionate about nature. Ever since I was a kid I was making bird lists, hunting/fishing or back-country canoeing and backpacking and really just finding any excuse to get outdoors. I am really interested ion working in the Natural Resources field and am pursuing a degree at UW-Stevens Point for Wildlife Ecology and Management. I have been working now for 3 years and I know that I am an extremely hard working and dependable employee and with these skills I also bring compassion and kindness to anyone I meet.
