As the foundation relations and grants manager, Lucy leads the organization’s efforts to identify and engage foundation partners whose interests align with Wildlands Network’s mission. While managing a grants portfolio of foundations, governments, and major donors, she works closely with program staff to develop grant proposals and reports and ensure donor stewardship.

Lucy’s desire to support meaningful work that has landscape-level impacts stems from her science background in grassland and avian ecology. Since studying biology at Clemson University and implementing conservation programs for the National Audubon Society, she has become a certified development professional and gained almost a decade of nonprofit experience.

In her spare time, she enjoys trail running, hiking, birding, and traveling to visit the amazing wild spaces we’re fighting to protect across North America.
