Proud father Peter Reich sent along a profile of daughter Melissa Reich, which was featured in the Nature Conservancy of Oregon’s 2011 annual report. Melissa has been a conservancy volunteer for nine years, most recently completing her third year as a member of the AmeriCorps program, working on Oregon’s Cascade Head, which the report describes as “a spectacular coastal headland that’s a haven for rare plants, wildlife and grassland communities. There she [Melissa] fell in love with the small caterpillars that become the Oregon silverspot butterfly, an endangered species.”
