As a CSF Conservation Technician, Anna works closely with farmers, agricultural experts, and environmental organizations to promote sustainable agricultural practices aimed at mitigating climate change impacts while ensuring efficient land management.

​Anna’s commitment to land stewardship all began on the apple orchard in Oregon where she grew up. Since then, she has studied at Cornell University and University of Michigan, where she earned an MS in Ecosystem Science and Management & Environmental Justice. In pursuing her interest in conservation and human-nature interaction, Anna has worked as a parks department director, field ecologist, farmhand, and outdoor educator. She is thrilled to be working on the Michigan Climate Smart Farms Project with WCCD. Outside of work you can find her singing folk music, enjoying a colorful home-cooked meal, or identifying plants in the woods.
