As Stewardship Coordinator for Saratoga PLAN, Magnolia manages PLAN’s fee title properties and trails, as well as coordinating PLAN’s Stewardship Volunteers including the popular “Monday Stewards” group. Her work includes a variety of projects such as native restoration, invasive species removal, hemlock stand prioritizations, annual boundary monitoring, committee coordination, and more.
Magnolia has a B.S. in Human Biology and Sustainability from The University at Albany. While there, she coordinated the Office of Sustainability’s Eco-Reps. After graduating in 2023, Magnolia started a 10-month Land Trust Alliance internship in partnership with both Saratoga PLAN and Wilton Wildlife Preserve & Park. After the internship, she worked part-time at both organizations for another 7 months before stepping into a full-time position with PLAN in November 2024.
In her free time, Magnolia enjoys crocheting, longboarding, hiking, sewing, and studying culture and language.
Fun fact: Magnolia did 3 seasons of World Class Drum Corps through Drum Corps International, touring the US and sleeping on gym floors all summer!
“Knowing how rich Saratoga PLAN’s history is, I feel incredibly honored to be part of it and always keep in mind what a privilege it is to do impactful work with such extraordinary people.”
