I am Jennifer Foley, the new intern here at Living Lands.

I am a South African, who has left the hustle and bustle of the big city (Pretoria/Joburg) and ventured down south to the beautiful and remote Baviaanskloof.

I completed my honours degree in BSc (Hons) Applied Science:  Environmental Technology at the end of last year (2009) after completing my BSc Geology in 2008 at the University of Pretoria, and had since been looking for an opportunity where I would able to use the knowledge I had gained through studying and practically apply it and gain further knowledge and, importantly, experience through practical application. Consequently I came across Living Lands and believed that this would be the opportunity of a life time!

I am extremely passionate about the environment and have a hunger to learn and gain experience, so as to further better the relationship between man and the environment and the impact that they have on each other. My focus for the time that I will be spending in the PRESENCE Learning Village, will mainly be the restoration of alluvial fans, although there are many other interesting and inspiring projects which I will be able to explore.

I believe in the ideals and vision of Living Lands and am very excited to be working for an organisation with such exceptional and ground breaking projects.
