Riley joined the land trust in September 2022 as a stewardship assistant. Native to Tennessee with much time spent in North Carolina and Virginia, she’s thrilled to explore such a new environment in the Pacific Northwest, including the unique ecosystems on Whidbey Island. Riley has a degree in environmental studies with a strong interest in pollinators, sustainable agriculture, and conservation. She is incredibly excited about this opportunity to steward land in such a meaningful way.
Riley can be found exploring with her dogs, traveling with her partner or with her hands in some soil.
