Join us at the Firehouse as Mason Quiram from the Oldham County Conservation District gives us a presentation on local pollinators and habitats! A little about Mason Quiram – OCCD District Program Director Mason is an Oldham County native, and graduate of Oldham County High School. Mason went on to study at Western Kentucky University where he graduated with a degree in Environmental Sustainability and Geographic Studies. Back in his hometown after college, Mason hopes to apply his education to helping protect Oldham County’s natural environment. Mason was raised in a family where gardening started from an early age, and trips to the farmers market were a weekly occasion. Growing up Mason frequently went camping, hiking and fishing. In the past few years, his family has also started raising chickens and beekeeping. Aside from his environmental background, Mason is also an avid college sports fan. He was raised a Cats fan, but of course he cheers for his alma mater Hilltoppers as well. Mason spends most of his free time cooking, drinking coffee and listening to Taylor Swift. This will be an excellent meeting and we are looking forward to seeing everyone there!
