Summary

[edit]
Description

Women in Wildlife March is Women’s History month, and we want to highlight some of the amazing women here at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on our social media sites.

Name: Alexandra Dibble Pitts

Title: Deputy Regional Director

Duty station: Pacific Southwest Regional Office, Sacramento

Female Conservation Hero or Mentor: My aunt Daphne D. Greene, National Parks Commissioner, Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Elizabeth Terwilliger, Marin County’s legendary environmental educator, who taught me about tide pools and birds in the 2nd grade.


Where did you go to school? Portland State University (BS) and The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (MFS).


What did you study? Botany, Physical Geography and Forest Ecology


How did you get interested in conservation? My family. Lots of CA water debates at the dining room table. My aunt’s work as a NPS Commissioner at GGNRA. Weeks long camping trips on the northeast shore of Lake Tahoe. The picture is me at 7 conducting a comparative conifer study at Lake Tahoe. ☺


What’s your favorite species and why? A suite of tree species, redwood, madrone and oaks, connect me to the northern California landscape of my childhood. Together their size, colors, profiles and smells define for me a sense of place in the coast range hills of Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties. Connection to place is really important in conservation. People tend to want to protect the places they have a connection to.


If you could have one incredible animal adaptation, what would it be?

Walking silently!
