Kelsey Bean
Other Forest Service
Hello from South Dakota! I’ve worked for public lands for many years doing a variety of jobs — such as catching endangered black-footed ferrets in South Dakota to teaching visitors about cliff dwellings in southern New Mexico, and a few other places inbetween. Originally from the Ozarks of Arkansas, I now work for the Black Hills National Forest in Custer, South Dakota where I work in forest products and timber sales. I also do a lot of community outreach and educational programs for the forest, which is my favorite! I have a bachelor’s degree in Natural and Historical Interpretation and a graduate certificate in Native American Studies. I love sharing my passion for our public lands with others! I also have the cutest hiking buddy ever, my dog Alma!
