  • サマリー

  • Meg Parsons was born and raised in Berkeley, California, in the 50s-60s. She enjoyed what the city and state provided for education and uprearing. She received a BA from Humboldt State College. She left the wet weather and logging industry of the Pacific Northwest to come to Alaska for the summer in 1975, ended up in Homer, and is still smitten with the beauty and spirit of Alaska after fifty years. She joined Friends of AK National Wildlife Refuges (NWR) while attending the Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival in Homer in 2016. Since then, Meg has done volunteer work at Tetlin NWR and Izembek NWR, and on the Friends Outreach Committee, participated in the Friends 2024 Discovery Trip rafting the Kisalarik River in Yukon Delta NWR, and rafted the North Fork of the Marsh River bird-watching and hiking in the Arctic NWR.

    Poppy Benson is Vice President for Outreach for Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges. She has been involved in Friends for all 20 years, first as a refuge employee coordinating with Friends and after retirement from the Fish & Wildlife Service as a Friends Board member. Prior to her 2014 retirement, she was the supervisory park ranger for the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge based in Homer, founding the Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival and developing the Islands & Ocean Refuge Visitor Center. She also taught a two-semester class on Alaska's wildlife refuges for Anchorage OLÉ! (Opportunities for Lifelong Education) and lobbied in Washington for increased funding for refuges. Poppy has a degree in Forest Recreation from the University of Minnesota, where she was raised. She moved to Alaska 40 years ago after working in natural resources in Minnesota, Oregon, and Nevada. She lives in Homer and loves camping, boating of all kinds, from kayaks to liveaboards, skiing, fishing, birding, and hiking.
