About ClareSnow
I'm a librarian doing research, but my first love was science and as a kid I wanted to be an ecologist or botanist. Things got in the way and now I only "study" nature in my spare time. As the lazyst environmentalyst I write about what I do to try to ensure the nature of our world is still here for future generations.
