Chris Schimmoeller and her family live off the grid. They rely on the natural resources of their land for food and water, collected in their gardens and from the rain that lands on their roof. Schimmoeller has a passion for protecting the nature that her and her family rely on. As a founder of the Remove Invasives Partnership, Schimmoeller meets with property owners to discuss the proper way to remove invasive species and protect native plants.
