ESLT Welcomes New Board and Staff
We extend a warm welcome to our new Director of Operations, Siobhan.
Originally from the Jersey shore, Siobhan headed south to study geology at UNC Chapel Hill which sparked a deep love and appreciation for the mountains. After graduating, she went on to have a seasonal career with the National Park Service, working at Glacier, Arches, Rocky Mountain and Kings Canyon national parks before moving to Truckee for its infamous deep snow. There, she worked various positions spanning tourism management, construction, and the outdoor industry. She spends her free time studying yoga, skiing, and exploring the backcountry with her rescue pup, Kaya.
Join us in (re)-welcoming our new Board Member, Randy Keller.
As a youth, Randy visited his parents’ cabin on Little Hilton Creek and spent endless hours floating around Crowley Lake. After joining the AirForce and graduating from law school, he served as a JAG officer specializing in environmental law. In 2000, Randy moved to Bishop and was hired by Inyo County as deputy county counsel. During his final four years with the County, he served as the County Counsel advising the Board of Supervisors and managing litigation and the office. He retired in August of 2013.
A Message from Amy Sturgill, Interim Director
Summer is in full swing here in the Eastern Sierra, and the beauty of our region is on full display. From the wildflowers carpeting the meadows to the snow-capped peaks reflecting in alpine lakes, it’s a reminder of why we work to protect these lands.
This season, we’ve been hard at work on several exciting projects. We recently completed a restoration effort in the meadows at Conway Ranch, removing invasive plants and restoring native plant communities to improve biodiversity for species like the Bi-State sage grouse.

Right now this warm up is not expected to reach the extreme levels of last week, none-the-less this could be another stretch of triple digit heat. Also as the week progresses, slight chances of t-storms are likely, as moisture creeps back into our area…DMATT

Weather Forecast July 16
Isolated to scattered t-storms again today, then I expect a drying trend as the week progresses. All due to a trough situated over the PACNW and a ridge to our East bringing on a drier SW flow.
