Background

About Hannah Stuart

I recently graduated with a masters in Water Resources Management (WRM) from the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at UW-Madison. Within my degree I focused on environmental management and planning. Before coming to UW, I received a BS in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Geology from the University of North Carolina Asheville then spent two years serving as the AmeriCorps Land Protection and Education Associate with the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy (SAHC) in Asheville, NC. While at SAHC, I helped protect over acres of important habitats and sustainable farms through facilitating conservation easement and fee simple property transactions. I'm extremely passionate about conservation projects, and my work with SAHC kickstarted a love for connecting with landowners and overseeing land protection projects. When I’m not conserving land or managing easement projects, I enjoy doing just about anything outdoors. As a former college athlete, I'm an avid runner and swimmer, enjoy skateboarding with my fiance (even though I'm not the best at it), and am trying my best to grow a vegetable garden this year. Most of all, I love taking my dog Sadie for long walks around Madison.
