A Reflection by ACE Member Kelsey Rivera
“After finishing, I’ll reflect on the best times I’ve had working at El Yunque National Forest. There are plenty of hard days here, but the most gratifying parts are the days working as a team with some of the best people and work environment I’ve had the privilege to be a part of.â€
