Bethany taking in the views at Red Feather Lakes, Colorado
Bethany Storm prefers to work behind the scenes. She loves operations and is always working with the team to try to improve efficiency. She also loves numbers and data. She is the person behind all the social media posts. Telling stories and sharing knowledge is what she enjoys the most about the business.
Bethany spent her tenure working in natural resource management. She started off working in wildlife rehabilitation and moved on to study fish and invertebrate species in the Gulf of Mexico. The data from those studies led her to becoming the regional biologist working on a large-scale wetland restoration in the western Everglades. It was her job to get baseline data on the wildlife in the project area. She left that field when she became a mother. She now has two nearly grown daughters. In 2014, her young family moved to the Driftless region of Wisconsin with a goal of raising more of their own food on a small homestead farm. On top of a hill with 360-degree views, she has raised pigs, turkeys, ducks, quail, sheep and goats for milk and meat, and laying hens. Currently she has a small fiber flock of sheep, goat used for woodland management, and laying hens. She grows many species of perennial fruit and nuts and always has a large herb and vegetable garden. Inside the house she has cats and turtles.
On her time off, Bethany wants to be outside, preferably in nature. She still loves science, and along with two friends and her daughters, she has been monitoring a creek in their watershed since 2018 as a part of the Water Action Volunteers with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. She loves politics and will never stop fighting for environmental justice. She enjoys an active lifestyle practicing yoga, hiking with family and friends, and gardening, so much gardening. When she isn’t working in her prairie or perennial gardens, she is inside cooking, preserving harvests, baking and making lotions and soaps.
