Earthdirt is not my real name, it's Chris Packard. Some years back I moved from Ohio to Maine. I am a teacher, a botanist, naturalist, and ecologist by training and by choice.

I currently teach at a high school and am serving as the lead editor for WikiProject AP Biology 2019, it is an annual exam project for my AP Biology class since 2012.

Contributions

I am mostly interested in biology and science articles, particularly plants and chickens. I like to edit mostly for content and accuracy. I am also interested in law, education, and religion related articles.
