SALLY SCHRANK
MONTANA CONSERVATION MANAGER
Sally provides strategic leadership for the Greater Yellowstone Coalition’s efforts to protect the lands, waters, and wildlife within the Montana portion of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Her work focuses on conserving key public lands, improving habitat connectivity, preventing human-wildlife conflicts, and shaping local, state, and federal policy decisions. Teamwork, leadership, and listening are skills Sally uses to bring various groups together on these critical issues.
Water, wildlife, and nature have always played a significant role in Sally’s life. She developed a love for fishing and catching turtles from her grandmother and the love of exploring bodies of water from her parents. Twenty years of mountain life in Montana has provided an incredible backdrop for seeking common ground for nature and people. Living and working in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is as amazing as it sounds and an enormous privilege.
