Bridgette Windell

Public Lands Advocacy Coordinator, The Conservation Alliance


Bridgette serves as the Public Lands Advocacy Coordinator for The Conservation Alliance in Missoula, Montana. Growing up in Colorado, Bridgette developed her love for the outdoors through hiking, skiing, biking, and most of all, rafting the West’s many iconic rivers. Her background is in communications and public engagement and she has worked with public and private agencies ranging from the National Park Service to New Belgium Brewing. Bridgette earned a master’s degree in Conservation Leadership from Colorado State University where she focused on conservation easements for private lands as a tool for conservation. You can often find her on skis or on the river with her partner and two pups, and she is excited to explore Montana as her new homebase.
