Full transcript: https://substack.com/home/post/p-182329540

Episode Description:

Raina shares her impactful Girl Scout Gold Award project, which focuses on wildlife conservation and reducing roadkill. She discusses her volunteer work at the Red River National Wildlife Refuge, where she noticed a significant amount of roadkill due to its proximity to a highway. To address this issue, Raina created informative wooden signs urging drivers to "Slow for Animals," along with a poster board that educates visitors about local wildlife and road safety. Additionally, she developed pamphlets detailing animal behaviors and a Facebook page to spread awareness beyond Louisiana. Raina also talks about her beautiful graphics, which she designed herself, and how she transformed her artwork into stickers for fundraising, combining her passion for drawing with her conservation efforts.

More from Raina:

Hello! My name is Raina, and I'm a Girl Scout Ambassador. I've been a Girl Scout my entire life and have been part of five different troops, one for each place I've moved to. I've lived in Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida, Germany, and now New Hampshire. Something I hope to do in the future is visit all five of the Girl Scout world centers and collect the special pin from each. I have visited two so far, Our Chalet in Switzerland and the Pax Lodge in England! Some of my hobbies include drawing, writing and cosplay. I also like collecting things like rocks, bones, and shiny trinkets.
