Andrew Hursh studies at Vermont Law School, focusing on environmental law, public lands, and international climate change agreements. His motivation for a public interest legal career developed out of his science background and graduate research modeling climate change effects on soils. Andrew is a backcountry enthusiast and reveres special, wild places, which need dedicated public stewards. He’s thrilled to be at “Friend of the San Juans” this summer, connect with this phenomenal place, and learn how effective advocacy is achieved.
