Graham joined the team in 2022, serving as a Land Conservation Associate and working with all aspects of conservation – meeting with landowners, researching deeds, mapping properties, and assisting the Stewardship Program Team with annual conservation easement monitoring.
Graham studied agriculture, botany, and conservation biology at Berry College in Northwest Georgia and later taught the English language at Champasak University in Laos, Southeast Asia. After returning to the United States, he worked with the Southwestern NC Resource Conservation & Development Council of Waynesville, NC and the NC State Extension of Cherokee County.
Graham lives in Andrews, NC with his wife Anna Rose and their two sons, and he can most often be found out in the woods or reading a good book. Graham is the eighth generation of his family to live in the mountains of North Carolina, and is happy to be a small part of protecting the beautiful country he calls home.
