She was with the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program for over a dozen years as a botanist and ecologist specializing in fire dependent systems and working with private landowners. As director of land trust associated with Tall Timbers Research Station, she initiated a conservation easement program for the quail hunting properties in the Red Hills region of south Georgia and the Florida panhandle and to ensure the values of the region were addressed by planners of pipelines, powerlines and roads. She is the author of “Managing the Forest and the Trees,” a guide for longleaf forest landowners funded by The Nature Conservancy and the Longleaf Alliance.
