“Leave it to the Beavers”
Amy Stout trained as a neuroscientist and pharmacologist. When she made a career change from lab work to research administration, she began a phase of community engagement and local activism. She has served in number of volunteer roles at the neighborhood and city level and is an advocate for better laws and policies related to sustainability, planning and land use. She is a member of the founding board of directors of the Candler Park Conservancy and will discuss their work as well as other citizen activism that has positively impacted this public park. The combination of a public works project and the influx of a keystone species has transformed a section of the park into a treasured nature habitat in the midst of the city.
