Laura Bohannon
Laura Bohannon grew up in San Francisco and moved to Colorado at age 13, where she discovered her love for the outdoors. She attended Colorado State University, and after graduation spent much of her twenties traveling internationally, learning from rural communities around the world. No matter how far she traveled, Colorado always drew her back. In 2013, Laura made Eagle County her home and later pursued a second degree in Leadership in Sustainability from Colorado Mountain College. In 2020, she joined the Eagle County Conservation District to help strengthen its operations and has since grown into her current role as Executive Director. Today, she leads the District’s efforts to promote natural resource management and conservation through technical and financial assistance, program development, and education and outreach.
