New Hire Supports Conservation Florida’s Race to Save Florida’s Landscapes
Conservation Florida, a leader in statewide land conservation, hired Allison Reynolds as a new land protection associate to strengthen its team and further its mission of protecting Florida’s wonderful wild places. Reynolds previously volunteered with Conservation Florida as a land protection intern.
She brings the professional experience of over 20 years in the commercial real estate industry. Prior to her real estate career, she worked on diverse research and conservation projects throughout Florida and Georgia. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biological Science from Florida State University and is now continuing her education by attending the University of Central Florida pursuing a master’s in interdisciplinary studies.
“For me, land protection is incredibly rewarding because it allows me to help keep Florida wild while using the knowledge and skills I've acquired over the course of my real estate career,” said Reynolds.
A lifelong Florida resident, her love for the outdoors was nurtured by a childhood spent camping, visiting the beaches and springs and adventuring in nature. Seeing firsthand the impacts of accelerating development and population growth on our natural areas, she will put her experience to work protecting important landscapes and environmental resources for the benefit of future generations.
“I am thrilled to join the staff of Conservation Florida and assist this incredible organization with their mission of preserving the natural areas that we all treasure,” said Reynolds.
