Alyssa is a Land Steward with Colorado West Land Trust, where she supports landowners in preserving and enhancing the conservation values of their land. She is a part of the Land Transfer Navigator program with American Farmland Trust -- which builds a cohort of folks working in close proximity to the land to help get the next generation of farmers and ranchers on the ground. She is on the board of the National Young Farmers Coalition, Fertile Edge Community Land Trust, and is a volunteer DJ with KVNF Community Radio (DJ Fern!). She grew up in Illinois -- where the corn meets the cul de sacs -- and moved to the high desert of Western Colorado in 2016 where she now lives, works, wanders, canoes, and gardens in the North Fork Valley with her husband, Ben.
