Voyageurs Conservancy is thrilled to welcome Moss Kupper to the Voyageurs Conservancy team as an Education Coordinator. Moss has played a pivotal role in increasing access to Minnesota's national parks, working to ensure explorers of all ages and backgrounds can experience this natural wonder.
Moss has always fostered a passionate curiosity about learning and nature. Growing up with Minnesota’s diverse ecosystems, she holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in cognitive science from the University of Minnesota, Duluth. She was a Research Coordinator at a lab studying brain development and has worked across Minnesota as an Outdoor Recreation Instructor and Naturalist. She also participated in the work-exchange program “WorkAway,” learning how people worldwide steward and connect to their land.
Moss earned a Master’s in Environmental Education from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, completing a thesis titled “The Effects of Nature-Based Learning on Elementary Students’ Sustained Attention.” She spent two years as an Education Field Fellow with the Conservancy, piloting the Voyageurs National Park Mobile Classroom. Since then, she's introduced hundreds of students to Voyageurs, guided foraging excursions for local community members, and connected educators from across the nation to Minnesota's national park.
When not working, Moss enjoys jumping in Lake Superior, playing music, and weeding at her community garden. Please join us in welcoming Moss to the Voyageurs community!
