Ayden Ehgotz, Conservation Coordinator, Michigan Nature Association


Prairie fens are a rare type of wetland found in southern Michigan. These unique communities are home to some of the rarest species of flora and fauna remaining in Michigan, including the globally critically endangered Poweshiek Skipperling. Ayden will discuss the processes that form prairie fens and the threats they face.

Ayden is responsible for the Nature Sanctuaries in southeast Michigan, from volunteer coordination to collaboration with researchers and other partners. A graduate of Oakland University, Ayden feels lucky to call this incredible region home.
