Sara Olmsted is an ecology master’s student at the University of Michigan with a diverse background in geology and environmental science; this work has taken her from urban Cleveland to dramatic Death Valley to the deserts of Bolivia and finally here to Michigan and the exciting Stewardship Network Conference. Her undergraduate thesis delved into beech leaf disease’s impact on hydrologic cycling in mesic forests. Now, Sara works in ecosystem science and management, focusing on how to bring the benefits of natural landscapes to agricultural areas, creating an ecosystem management plan adjusted for agricultural business realities.
