Anna Fiedler - She is finishing a PhD in Ecology and Entomology with Doug Landis at Michigan State University. Her research focuses on the native plant and insect response to restoration of prairie fen. She is interested in addressing the role that insects play in ecosystems in terms of plant-pollinator interactions, ecosystem function, and conservation. She would like to continue to address environmental sustainability and ecosystem restoration through the development of projects that increase people’s understanding of the meaningful connection that they have to insects and to their environment.
