Isa Bryant, Stewardship Manager
Ana-Elisa (Isa) joined LTV in 2017.  She is the Stewardship Manager for all of LTV’s easements while also running the social media accounts, maintaining the website, writing Baseline Documentation Reports, and assisting Ashton with new easements when possible.  Born in Idaho, she has grown up in many different parts of the world, sparking a love for the outdoors and conservation.  She proudly holds a biology degree from Sweet Briar College and a Masters degree from Virginia Tech.  If she is not in the field monitoring easements, she’s likely with her rescue dog, Darwin, trying to see as much of Virginia as possible through hiking or horse-back riding the country-side.  Should you have any questions about yearly monitoring, volunteering to help with stewardship, or LTV’s stewardship program, feel free to reach out to Isa at Isa@landtrustva.org.
