Shannon Carnevale
Ecologist
As a conservation ecologist and outreach specialist, I work at the intersection of Florida’s land management and public engagement. My practice is grounded in formal training in Forest Resources and Conservation (BS) and Agricultural Education and Communication (MS), providing a dual foundation in ecological science and the art of strategic communication.By translating complex environmental data into actionable community insights, I facilitate the long-term resilience of the ecosystems that define our region.
