From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McGhiever is an outreach volunteer for the GLAM-Wiki Initiative and a member of WikiProject Protected areas. As a librarian I am interested in building connections between my profession and Wikimedia projects, and making more information accessible online. As a nature lover I am interested in giving protected areas a robust presence in the online and mobile realms. Originally from Colorado, I now live in Minnesota. I am a graduate of Macalester College and work for a public library in the Twin Cities.

My major area of contribution is state parks of the United States, improving their articles and promoting consistency. I am always happy to have other users edit my text for clarity and concision. Other users also have my full blessing to remove my photographs from articles if a sharper or more colorful picture becomes available.
As a civil servant and a fan of public parks, I am of the conviction that public spending makes our country better.[1]
