Granville native, Denison graduate named a fellow at Connecticut nature conservancy
Yale University student Rowan Sharkey, of Granville, has been named as a fellow on the Board of Trustees for The Nature Conservancy in Connecticut.
Sharkey is a masters of environmental management candidate at the Yale School of the Environment, focusing specifically on ecosystem management and conservation. Having received her Bachelor of Arts in data analytics and environmental studies at Denison University, her interest lies in environmental data analyzation, storytelling and communication.
Sharkey has also served as a Princeton in Africa fellow, where she worked with regenerative agriculture and nutrition accessibility in Kenya. She holds a deep connection to the land and is curious about best management and restoration practices to further the effort against global climate change.
She first connected with TNC as a mesic water restoration researcher for a project in Montana. During her time at Yale, she’s worked with TNC on a preserve to understand the ecological, social and geographical components of access. As a fellow, she will connect with experts across the world to learn more about varying approaches to environmental issues.
The Nature Conservancy is a global conservation organization dedicated to conserving the lands and waters on which all life depends. Guided by science, TNC creates innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. Working in more than 70 countries and territories, TNC uses a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments, the private sector, and other partners. The Connecticut chapter has protected more than 53,000 acres of land and is engaging with communities throughout the state to help build and conserve a more resilient, livable world.
