Cloe Sliva

University of Montana - College of Forestry and Conservation

Hailing from the Southwest, Cloe Sliva grew up in the Ponderosa pine forests, sandstone canyons, and diverse deserts the region is known for. Graduating from Northern Arizona University with dual bachelor’s in geology and chemistry, she spent several years after school living and working in conservation field jobs, monitoring the resplendent creeks and rivers that wind through the Four Corners region. She is pursuing a Master of Science in Resource Conservation at the University of Montana, where she is exploring how watershed-scale environmental planning can be used to further conservation goals, restoration projects, and protect one of the most precious resources in the West. After school, Cloe hopes to continue in conservation planning to help protect natural resources, landscapes, and communities.
