Today, as land protection manager for Save the Redwoods League, she works directly to help protect those trees, guiding the sale of land and negotiating conservation easements between landowners and Save the Redwoods League She also interfaces with public agencies as the League transfers ownership of acquired properties to the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, United States Forest Service, and other agencies.
Andreucci earned her B.A. in Environmental Studies and Planning from Sonoma State in 2011. One of her positions after graduating was with the Greenbelt Alliance, an environmental advocacy group that promotes smart growth development and the preservation of open space. Andreucci joined Save the Redwoods League in 2017, where she served as a conservation programs assistant & associate before moving into her current position in April 2021.
Andreucci appreciates the multi-faceted nature of her work, but she especially enjoys the special relationships she builds with landowners who have chosen to protect their land in perpetuity by selling it to the League or holding it in a conservation easement.
“Under Save the Redwoods League’s ownership, we get to steward, manage, and nurture purchased property,” says Andreucci. “But partnering with landowners to keep land under their ownership—often lands that have been in a family for generations—while still making sure that sound management endures is really special.”
It’s a long-term relationship, and often the process can take years. Andreucci helps the League identify priority properties—redwood and giant sequoia lands with significant conservation value—but she also works with landowners who reach out directly. This long-term impact is what drew Andreucci to her position.
“I never thought I could have a career spending time in the places I love, doing work to ensure the protection of those places. I can say after it’s done that this piece of land will be protected forever. It connects me to these places in a deeper way.”
