Dear ESLT Family,

It is with great pleasure that I step into the role of Interim Executive Director at the Eastern Sierra Land Trust. For those I’ve not yet had the opportunity to meet, my name is Amy Sturgill and since 2022 I have served as ESLT’s Land Conservation Program Director.

Prior to joining the ESLT team, I dedicated two decades to conservation efforts across a range of organizations, with over twelve of those years focused right here in the Eastern Sierra. My career has been driven by a deep passion for preserving the natural resources of the Eastern Sierra and fostering collaborative conservation. I wholeheartedly believe in ESLT’s mission and am committed to protecting this amazing place by advancing our initiatives and programs.

In stepping into this role, I am truly grateful for the wealth of knowledge and expertise ESLT staff, Board and committee members bring to our team. Their contributions not only enrich our work – they provide inspiration each and every day. Moving forward, I am eager to continue our collective efforts to protect working and wild lands, steward our natural resources, and engage with our incredible community.

On behalf of the ESLT team, we are thrilled to work closely with each of you, listening to your insights and perspectives as we navigate the opportunities that await us. Our shared dedication to ESLT’s mission will guide us towards continued success. Thank you for being an integral part of our efforts to protect and conserve the Eastern Sierra.
