About Bri Benvenuti

Bri Benvenuti joined the staff at Rachel Carson NWR as a biological technician in 2016 and served in that position until July 2022. Her day-to-day activities involved a combination of research, restoration, and management of at-risk species with a sprinkling of outreach and education. Born in Pennsylvania, Bri grew up in the shadow of Hawk Mountain Sanctuary where a love of the outdoors was instilled by her parents before moving to Maine. Bri’s hobbies stem from her love of the natural world. When not spending time with her equine partner, Marshall, she enjoys using photography to tell the story of conservation and nature.
