About

Ashley Meadows joined the Ô¼ÅÚÊÓƵ Rockies team in 2021 and currently serves as the interim communications manager. Ashley brings a lifelong love of local wildlife and habitats to the organization. Born and raised in northern Colorado, she graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder, where she studied communication and biology. Appreciating that people are driven to protect what they care about and understand, she has a passion for encouraging others to find curiosity and joy in birds and nature. She believes that through creating and uplifting opportunities to enjoy, learn about, and help birds, we can support healthier, more connected bird and human communities. In her spare time, Ashley enjoys birding, cooking, gardening, and spending time with her family, friends, and pets.
