Conservation Land and Water Protection

I help landowners, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies protect high priority landscapes and watersheds. My work supports conservation projects from early concept through closing and long term protection, bringing together real estate expertise, ecological understanding, and careful coordination across partners and disciplines.

I specialize in conservation focused land protection efforts that safeguard habitat, water quality, and wildlife. This includes supporting private landowners through conservation sales, assisting nonprofits and agencies with feasibility analysis and funding strategy, and helping projects move from initial vision to lasting protection through fee title acquisition or conservation easements.

I often serve as a bridge between landowners, conservation organizations, tribal partners, scientists, and funders, helping align technical, legal, and relational aspects of complex land and water protection projects.
