Quinn Rider joined BVAC during the pandemic while her studies at UCLA were on hold. When school resumed, she finished her degree in Ecology and returned to Bear Valley. Quinn quickly became the BVAC Store Manager for many years, and during that time, she developed “Quinn’s Eco Corner” as an expression of her passion for the natural environment. Quinn has since moved away with her husband, but stays connected to our community through these articles. We sincerely appreciate Quinn’s commitment to furthering our knowledge and appreciation of our local surroundings in Bear Valley.
