Anna Hedinger

Hi! I’m Anna, the Post-Baccalaureate Fellow for the Paulson Ecology of Place Initiative. It's my goal to help you build a sense of home here on campus through art, food, play, and inquiry. I work closely with the Paulson team to connect the whole campus community to the natural landscape. Growing up in the wide open spaces of Montana, I feel a strong pull to the mountains and the land around me. Since completing my degree in Environmental Studies from Wellesley in 2023, I'm thrilled to give back by helping students ground themselves in this landscape, learn more about its histories, and honor its more-than-human communities. I aim to make environmental knowledge and embodied experiences more safe and accessible to all. Have a question about a plant? Want to chat about a project? Feel free to say hello! You can find me around the Science Center foraging for mint, making botanical inks, or sketching in one of my notebooks.
