Nate Kidd

Geography major Nate Kidd has been a fixture on the environmental front. At Clark, he was one of a cohort of students in the Human Environmental Regional Observatory program, which engages in hands-on research to help communities find sustainable approaches to the threat of climate change and other environmental challenges. Kidd and his fellow HERO colleagues have helped to “green” city neighborhoods, researched the problem of “heat islands” in Worcester, and surveyed city residents’ attitudes toward tree renewal efforts.

Kidd will be working on Nantucket island in Massachusetts as a communications and events coordinator with the Nantucket Land & Water Council (NLWC). During the summer, his position will largely be focused on assisting with logistics for NLWC events and will create newsletters, blog posts, and social media materials that bring attention to the organization’s work and initiatives and voice support or concern for new policies on Nantucket that impact the island’s environment.
