Lila M. Higgins

Lila M. Higgins grew up on a farm in the United Kingdom, where she had lots of time for unstructured play in the wild. Her love for nature, especially insects, grew out of this time and lead her to study entomology and environmental education. Her work at Mass Audubon Society’s Drumlin Farms sanctuary and at the Mary Vagle Nature Center focused on connecting people to nature, particularly in urban settings. Currently she oversees NHMLA’s community science program and loves getting people involved in studying the plants and animals that live in Los Angeles.
