Kestrel grew up with a love of nature, having visited 49 states and many of their national parks. For her Gold Award, Kestrel centered her project on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and documenting oral histories of park volunteers who served 10,000 hours or more. These stories and interviews are now part of the National Park Service Archives in Gatlinburg, TN.
