Woman pulling tarp around plants

Intern Julia Lambert (she/her), fall 2023 to present

Hello! I’m a junior double majoring in Applied Math and Conservation and Resource Studies. I grew up around the mountains of San Bernardino and absolutely love hiking and spending time with loved ones outdoors. When indoors, you can find me watching animated shows and crocheting. I love discovering new parts of Strawberry Creek, learning which plants I can eat around here, and diminishing the dominion of invasive ivy on campus. My favorite CA native plant is the Western Redbud!

Intern Loulou and an oak tree

Intern Loulou Ziegler (she/her), fall 2023 to present

Hi! My name is Loulou (she/her). I’m a sophomore studying Conservation and Resource Studies. My favorite native plant is the Coast Live Oak, its scraggly yet sturdy limbs are great to climb. I get excited about growing and cooking good food for my friends, making art and music, and the forests of Northern California. Strawberry Creek has been a magical place for me since I was a little kid growing up in Berkeley—a quiet haven of water skeeters and edible blackberries—and my appreciation for all it has to offer our community has only grown since I’ve started as an intern for SCRP.
