2024 Conservation Land Stewards
Meet LRCT’s 2024 Conservation Land Stewards (LRCC) members and read their Conservation Journals to learn about their experiences:
Audrey Lockridge
Hi, I'm Audrey Lockridge, a recent University of Alabama graduate in Environmental Science, with my main interest in forestry and wildlife management. Originally from Houston, Texas, my love for the outdoors was nurtured through hunting, horseback riding, and spending as much time as possible in nature. I'm thrilled to join the Lakes Region Conservation Trust team, where I aim to deepen my conservation knowledge and apply my passion for environmental stewardship. Outside of work, I enjoy crafts, gardening, and playing with my cat, Bean. I look forward to contributing to and learning from this community.

Madeline Linhart
Hi! My name is Madeline Linhart. I am from Texas but attended college at the University of New Hampshire. My major was Environmental Conservation and Sustainability. When I was younger, my family lived in Idaho where my love for the environment grew. I loved camping, hiking, swimming, exploring, and roasting marshmallows around the campfire. During my time at college, I had the opportunity to study abroad for a semester in New Zealand with the EcoQuest program. It was here that I learned about various ecosystems, environmental conservation, and the importance of protecting biodiversity. My favorite hobbies include writing, reading, crafting, and spending time outside. As a recent graduate, I look forward to working outside with a dedicated environmental team.

Taylor Lovely
Greetings y'all! My name is Taylor Lovely, a born and bred resident of the Lakes Region in New Hampshire. These lakes, mountains, rivers, ponds, and forests have been my playground, community, and source of love and support since day one. Before attending college, I spent a gap semester working with conservation organizations in Australia and New Zealand which solidified my field of study for the coming years. I attended Middlebury college and graduated with a joint major in Environmental studies and Anthropology with a minor in Philosophy. While attending college, I joined the Middlebury Student Quakers and dabbled in the intersectional studies of the environment and theology, which opened my eyes and heart to the wisdom from our silent, more-than-human community. I spend most of my time hiking, reading, foraging plants and fungi, birding, crafting, and meditating. I am deeply excited to conserve the Lakes Region and attempt to 'speak for the trees' through this work!
