Alyson DeNittis

Alyson’s experience and passion for conservation spans the diverse, unique landscape of Utah. Prior to joining Audubon, she graduated with a B.S. in botany from Utah Valley University. Much of her work has involved rare and native plant research across Utah, focusing on science that helps inform conservation strategies for these species and the habitat that supports them. As the Senior Land Management Coordinator at Gillmor Sanctuary, Alyson is involved with all aspects of land management to preserve critical shorebird habitat along the Great Salt Lake. When not wading through a flooded playa or counting birds, she loves exploring the West, creating art, and immersing herself in her community
