Originally hailing from the tangled green forests of the Oregon coast, Anya Tyson now delivers science and strategy across eastern Oregon’s arid and alluring sagebrush steppe. In her work with rural communities and federal land managers, Anya operates from an understanding that durable conservation outcomes must be sourced from and shaped by the people whose lives, livelihoods and cultures are intertwined with the landscape. She studied conservation ecology and communications with the Field Naturalist graduate program at the University of Vermont. Earlier in her career, Anya led several volunteer-driven data collection efforts involving bigleaf maples, loons, and Clark’s nutcrackers, and also traipsed along as a sidekick in a documentary about mule deer migration. In addition to long-haul adventures, Anya enjoys playing sing-a-longs on accordion, ukulele and harmonica.
