As the Director of Science Delivery with the Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University, Amy works closely with federal and state land managers and their diverse stakeholders to translate and deliver peer-reviewed science relevant to landscape-scale ecological restoration. Amy is a research ecologist with a background in forest restoration, fire history, and insect communities.
