As the fifth generation to be raised on a family farm near the Niobrara River in northeast

Nebraska, Amy has a passion for prairie conservation. Before joining AOK, she has been the Park Superintendent at Smith Falls State Park and the Executive Director at the John G. Neihardt State Historic Site where she managed operations and habitat restoration while making sure visitors had a great experience.  She also coordinated book and journal publications as the Associate Editor for the South Dakota Historical Society Press and the Nebraskaland magazine, and organized cultural educational programs for Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska - Lincoln.  Throughout her career in conservation, she has accomplished numerous conservation goals including natural and cultural resource protection, prairie and forest habitat management, prescribed burning, invasive species removal, trail development, property and equipment maintenance, and staff and volunteer coordination.

We are so excited to have Amy join Audubon of Kansas!
