Partner Profile

Conservation Services is a hardwood tree planting and establishment company that has been installing riparian forests all over the country for the last 24 years. For the last 4 years we have partnered with the James River Association to install hundreds of acres of riparian forests in the Middle James River watershed.

As a project coordinator I am involved with many different aspects of the planting such as planning, installation, and maintenance. It is rewarding for me to see a project come to life from the beginning; and care for that project until its successful completion. Where after its establishment we will have created a forest that will provide and care for generations to come.

I graduated from Ferrum College in 2010 with a B.S. Environmental Science. After college I held several odd jobs until the beginning of 2012 when I started work at Conservation Services. I was originally hired to assist with a large planting in North Carolina and to do some warehouse work during the Spring of 2012. From that point I have worked my way through the company; starting with Warehouse Technician, then Warehouse Superintendent, then Project Coordinator, and currently a Senior Project Coordinator/Partner.

I think anytime you have a group of like minded individuals working together for a common goal there are many benefits including the sharing of ideas and experiences.
