Jacob Swanson [he/him/his]
Outreach associate (part-time)
Caring for nature is like a snowball rolling down a hill: once that ball starts rolling for an individual, it continually gains momentum, growing bigger and bigger. I want Journey North to be that first nudge down the hill that gets people excited about the world's migratory birds and insects, which need more help than ever. After you get involved for the first time, the sky's the limit.
Jacob Swanson joined Journey North as an outreach associate in April 2023. Jacob grew up in Peshtigo, Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and communication arts. An avid birder, he also enjoys hiking, camping and wildlife photography.
