Scott Rennick’s Sistine Chapel Rebuilding Oklahoma’s Wetlands

by Chelsea McConnell / Staff Writer

When Scott Rennick was nine years old, his dad took him on an adventure that inadvertently steered the course of his life. Rennick’s dad took him duck hunting in the wetlands of Bakersfield, California, just a few hours from their home in Los Angeles. It was at this young age that he became fascinated by wetlands. He already knew city life wasn’t for him, but being introduced to the wetlands gave him a glimmer of what his future could look like. This one trip built a passion in Rennick he would follow for the rest of his life.
