Carl Lowenberg

Americorps*VISTA Education Program Assistant

Carl Lowenberg grew up in Iowa, California, Vermont, and Massachusetts, where he learned to grow sweet-corn, ride a bicycle, tap maple syrup, and climb trees, respectively. Now he's excitedly attempting to adapt these outdoor interests to life in the big city of Boston. Carl graduated from Wesleyan University in 2006 with a degree in International Government, focusing on sustainable development in Latin America. He spent a year studying in Chile and Brazil and had the chance to visit deserts, rainforests, and other South American natural wonders. At school, Carl helped create the student-run Long Lane Farm, which raised organic vegetables and awareness about environment-friendly farming practices. For the first year after college he lived in a cabin in the Massachusetts woods and taught Middle School students at an outdoor education program. He's looking forward to a great year with the Urban Ecology Institute's education programs.
