Girija Kulkarni is the Communications and Media Manager at Western Landowners Alliance, where she focuses on elevating landowners’ stories, voices, and stewardship across the West. She is driven by a deep belief that the people who live and work on the land are essential partners in conservation, and that storytelling can play a powerful role in advancing solutions that sustain both working lands and wildlife. She lives in Denver, Colorado where she enjoys spending time with her two rescue dogs, wrangling horses, and doing anything that gets her outside and connected to the landscapes and communities she works to support.
