Eunice Youmans
Executive Director
Eunice has held leadership roles in conservation for over a decade. She began her work on a global scale, working with scientists to identify the land management strategies that had environmental, financial and climate benefits. Much of this work involved balancing the equally important and competing land demands of development, jobs, agriculture, habitat, conservation and recreation. Eunice managed a Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard conservation portfolio which included thirty miles of recreational beach front, endless miles of dune, forest, and marshland trails and a 300-acre farm with 90 head of cattle, forty sheep and an everchanging menagerie of ducks, chickens, turkeys, goats and pigs. She also helped build a financially successful food waste collection, and a compost production facility which enriched the island soils to generate more local produce. That work attracted international investment to scale up.
