I’m passionate about helping others see the intrinsic value of nature, as well as the role that their gifts and voice can play in the work towards environmental sustainability.

Lucas Phelps is a freshman at Calvin University studying Environmental Science. I’ve been somewhat involved in sustainability for the past 4 years, but have only recently begun to dig into all it has to offer. This semester I’m working with Plaster Creek Stewards (an initiative of Calvin U) to engage with students and encourage them to think and act more sustainably in their respective communities.
