STEVE NEVITT
I was born in Lafayette and raised in Southwest Louisiana. My childhood was spent fishing for sac a lait in the basin, hunting for dove on the prairie and duck in the cheniere plain. I received my bachelors of science in Renewable Resources and Environmental Science from ULL and my masters of science in Geology from the School of Geosciences at ULL. I love the rich lands that surround us and seek to encourage appropriate management of our home range through education, awareness and practice. Not only for our health and enjoyment, but for our responsibility to take care of our bodies and keep our home clean. Unfortunately all the land in Louisiana has been impacted, and degraded from its natural state. To walk away and leave a once farmed field to ‘go-back-to-nature’ is akin to abandoning any project in the middle and expecting it to return to its original state on its own. Restoration must be deliberate and may seem like a daunting task, but you are putting into motion a cycle that will continue for generations.
