Sound Rivers Staff

Sierra Stickney comes to Sound Rivers as a Resilience Corps NC AmeriCorps.

Sierra graduated from State University of New York (SUNY)-Oneanta in December 2021 and has put her degree in biology, with concentrations in ecology and conservation, to good use since.

Sierra works with Program Director Clay Barber on education and outreach for Sound Rivers’ Campus Stormwater Program, creating hands-on learning opportunities at partnering schools, interactive lessons in outdoor classrooms, supporting proper maintenance and inspection of green stormwater infrastructure projects and pitching in with Sound Rivers’ Litter-Free Rivers program and its growing collection of trash traps on tributaries of the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico rivers.

Resilience Corps NC AmeriCorps is a service program of the Conservation Trust for North Carolina, funded by a grant through the North Carolina Governor’s Commission on Volunteerism.
