Hanni Yu, Spring 2026

Hi! I’m a senior majoring in Genetics and Plant Biology with a minor in Conservation and Resource Studies. I like gardening, playing music with friends, and taking nature walks! I feel so lucky to live in a state where there is so much biodiversity in our landscapes, and I hope that working with the Strawberry Creek Restoration Program can help us connect more people with the nature around us while creating a home for the native plant and animal communities that we share the creek with.

Hello, my name is Helena and I am a senior studying Environmental Science! I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, sunbathing on the beach, and playing rugby with my teammates. I’m passionate about learning how to help support the environment, especially local native flora and fauna as best as possible. I’m excited to be a part of restoration efforts within my local community and learn more about supporting our creek systems.
