Joey Wohlers (C'24, MM'25) is a farm bill biologist in Oberlin, Kansas, with Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever. He interacts with landowners and helps with conservation. In summer 2025, Joey researched E. coli in Dubuque's waterways after he received a microgrant through the city of Dubuque's participation in Round 2 of the Bloomberg Philanthropies' Youth Climate Action Fund. He found there is little risk associated with E. coli in the waterways he tested - Bee Branch Creek and Catfish Creek at the Mines of Spain.
