Meet Tony Esposito
Tony Esposito - North Carolina State Coordinator
I make my living working in the media business. Because of my love of nature, I decided to volunteer and became involved with the National Wildlife Federation.
I first became a Habitat Steward and then shortly there after trained to become a Host. As a Habitat Steward you give talks to groups and help people create wildlife habitats in their yards as part of the Backyard Habitat program. As a NWF Host, I hold workshops to train people interested in becoming Habitat Stewards.
At first I volunteered in North Carolina with the North Carolina Wildlife Federation. I worked with seven schools in creating their habitats and was part of the team that created the 2000th Schoolyard Habitat at Park Road Montessori School in Charlotte NC.
I have since moved to South Carolina and volunteer with the South Carolina Wildlife Federation.
While training to become a Habitat Steward I had read A Sand County Almanac and loved it. During the Steward training I would highly recommend reading A Sand County Almanac.
When I heard about the Leopold Project I knew it would be a wonderful opportunity to add a new element to the habitat programs I work with. Aldo Leopold had such a wonderful view of nature especially how deeply man and nature are connected.
I signed up for both the Educators and the Facilitators Workshop in Atlanta Georgia.
The State Facilitators position came open and I jumped at the opportunity.
