Kaitlyn Ammerlaan
Program Director and Preserve Manager
Born and raised in Chandler, Arizona, Kaitlyn has always had a passion for protecting and caring for our natural spaces. After graduating from Colorado State University with a degree in Ecosystem Science and Sustainability, Kaitlyn moved to Lawrence and quickly fell in love with the town and with the tallgrass prairie. She came to GHF with experience working in both remnant and restored prairie landscapes and is excited to share the magic of the prairie with her community. When she's not trying to identify prairie plants, Kaitlyn spends her time gardening, baking, and playing with her dog, Junimo.
