About ERICA
Erica joined the IWJV team in 2022. In her role as Water 4 Coordinator, she supports the conservation of wetlands, working wet meadows, and other water resources in ways that benefit both people and wildlife. She is passionate about developing strong partnerships that result in mutually-beneficial conservation outcomes. Her career is rooted in the Intermountain West, where she has developed a deep appreciation for open spaces, clean water, and the communities that steward them. Before joining the IWJV, Erica worked as the Land Protection Specialist and Staff Biologist for the Jackson Hole Land Trust. During that time, she had the privilege of partnering with landowners to protect working lands across northwest Wyoming. She holds a B.S. in Zoology with Honors from Colorado State University, and an M.S. in Wildlife Biology from Utah State University. When she’s not at work, you can find her skiing, birding, trail running, and spending time in the garden or out on the river. Erica currently works from her home office in Victor, Idaho.
