    As the Wildlands Ecologist at Northeast Wilderness Trust, Shelby is in charge of the long-term care of nearly 80,000 acres of wilderness across six states. She also selects and justifies new projects. On any given day, she might be in the field collecting data for an ecological report on a property NEWT is working to conserve in southern New Hampshire, monitoring a wilderness preserve in the mountains of Maine, plotting ways to close ecologically sensitive areas to public access in an Adirondack preserve, or writing monitoring reports at her desk in central Vermont.
