Renee Seacor

Renee Seacor is Mighty Earth’s Vermont State Director, where she oversees our campaign to reintroduce catamounts to the forests of the Northeast.

Renee previously served as the Carnivore Conservation Director for Project Coyote, overseeing campaigns aimed at promoting coexistence with North America’s wild carnivore species. She has built a career in environmental advocacy, using litigation and policymaking to champion a wide range of conservation issues that protect wildlife and wild nature.

Renee holds a B.S. in Environmental Science from Rocky Mountain College in Montana. While in Montana, she contributed to several wildlife research studies in the Yellowstone River ecosystem, with a particular focus on the health of Osprey nesting in the region. She also conducted historical research on the extirpation of gray wolves from the landscape, documenting and analyzing predator bounty certificates from livestock commission records across the state. She went on to earn her J.D. with a concentration in environmental law from the University of Oregon School of Law.

During law school, Renee worked in various roles on environmental and wildlife issues—from litigating for endangered species protections for the Marbled Murrelet (an imperiled seabird), to campaigning for clean water legislation in New York, to conducting policy research on urban forest expansion for the U.S. House Committee on the Climate Crisis in Washington, D.C.
