Amy Cimarolli co-owns a farm in Tucker County, where she focuses on forest management and forest farming activities, and she is excited to add farm operator to her biography! What keeps her from diving into more agricultural pursuits on that land is her full-time work as a land protection specialist with the West Virginia Land Trust. With the Land Trust, she is privileged to guide private forest and farm owners through the process of establishing voluntary perpetual conservation easements on their land. Prior to this position, she worked as a forester and ecologist for private landowners, including the Nature Conservancy in West Virginia and Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, emphasizing protection of high conservation value resources and maintenance of forest and wildlife diversity. Amy received her master’s degree in 1993 in forestry and forest products from Virginia Tech, where she examined relationships between forest types and forest fuels at Richmond National Battlefield Park and co-authored Vegetation Management in Historic and Recreational Parks with Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. She completed a bachelor’s degree in 1987 in forestry and wildlife, with a minor in biology, also at Virginia Tech. She currently lives in Davis, West Virginia.
