Jennifer Speers grew up in New York’s Hudson Valley with farming and conservation in her blood. She has carried her values of land stewardship into the management of her own ranching properties along the Colorado River in Moab, Utah, where she raises crops that provide habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife that utilize the river corridor.

Prior to becoming a full-time farmer, Jennifer worked for 18 years as a surgical technician at Holy Cross Hospital in Salt Lake City. In addition to her service on Glynwood’s Board of Directors, Jennifer serves on the boards of the Grand Canyon Trust, the Nature Conservancy of Utah, Artspace, Wave Hill and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
