Background

About Lovina Englund

As the Executive Director of the Palouse Land Trust, I have dedicated my career to preserving the natural beauty and ecological health of north-central Idaho and southeastern Washington. With over a decade of experience in conservation, I lead a dynamic team committed to protecting and enhancing the landscapes that define our region. My journey began with a master's degree in rangeland ecology and management from the University of Idaho, where I developed a deep understanding of ecosystem dynamics. Since 2018, I’ve been at the helm of the Palouse Land Trust, where I have not only overseen significant land conservation projects but also fostered meaningful partnerships with local communities, landowners, and fellow conservation organizations. As a certified agricultural and natural resources planner, I bring a strategic approach to land preservation, ensuring that our projects align with both environmental sustainability and community needs. I am passionate about engaging with the community, advocating for conservation, and building a legacy of stewardship that will benefit future generations. Whether it’s through innovative conservation strategies, effective fundraising, or community outreach, I am driven by the mission to protect the land we love. Let’s connect if you share a passion for conservation, community engagement, or are interested in collaborative efforts that balance safeguarding our natural resources and community resilience.
