Denise comes to the NWP family from the yoga mat. She has been teaching yoga students for 10 years to stretch their bodies and minds. She also brings more than 23 years of bookkeeping experience to NWP. She has been a Nevadan since 1988, and along with her husband and kids, enjoys the camping and hiking opportunities that Nevada wilderness offers. She rounds out the holistic side of our staff with her fun sense of adventure, gardening and cooking skills--as well as urdvadanurasana (upward facing bow pose).

Kristie Connolly, Web and Mapping (independent contractor)
 |
A small town upbringing has not stopped Kristie from living in several states on both coasts and walking across the Bosporus in Turkey. Her academic background is in geography/geology, which explains her wanderlust, and her passion for maps and collecting rocks for landscaping projects at home. She is fond of refrigerator magnets and presumably the forces of magnetism, and dreams of sailing throughout the Caribbean. When not working you'll find her with her daughter Ginnie on the trail or in the garden.

Jeneane Harter, Executive Director
Jeneane Harter, the former chairwoman of Nevada Conservation League C-4 board of directors, was named the new executive director of the Nevada Wilderness Project in September 2011. While chair of the conservation league’s board, Jeneane helped lead a nonprofit organization that worked with public interest groups, businesses, labor organizations, government agencies and many others to promote sensible conservation policies through education and advocacy. When she’s not working, Jeneane is probably hanging with her nieces and nephews – Kiki, Dude, Tweetiepie and Roo, who also, but rarely, go by the names of Keegan, Kaden, Kaelyn and Kendall.

Alli Harvey, Membership Coordinator
 Alli is an avid champion of all things belonging outside. You might find her hiking out in the hills, biking around town, trail running or even attempting to plant a garden (she needs help here). Alli is as passionate about being in the outdoors as she is about building community, and she believes the two are connected. After earning her BA in Urban Environmentalism from the New School in NYC, followed by several years cutting her teeth as a grassroots organizer in Alaska on issues ranging from smart energy development to local food, she's seen firsthand how vehemently people will speak up to protect the places they live - and how this advocacy can make all the difference. As Membership Coordinator, Alli is thrilled to work with our members who also love and support Nevada's wild places. She encourages you to stop in and say hello anytime!
