Samantha Trueman

Forestry Associate

Samantha grew up next to the Appalachian Trail in Northern New Jersey, where her appreciation for protected lands began. She earned a B.S. in Environmental Science from Gettysburg College, then spent several years working in conservation easement monitoring and urban forestry in Western North Carolina. Samantha joined EcoForesters’ stewardship team in 2021 before pursuing a dual master’s degree in Forestry and Environmental Management at Duke University, where she focused on community based forestry and environmental justice. She has since returned to EcoForesters as a Forestry Associate, and enjoys working closely with landowners and looking for rare wildflowers.
