Meghan LaPointe

Fort Huachuca Resilience Specialist

Meg joined LegacyWorks Group in 2024 as the Fort Huachuca Resilience Specialist. She works with her team and partners to increase the climate resilience of Fort Huachuca and the landscapes that overlap military footprints through conservation, mitigation, and adaptive management measures in the face of drought and climate variability.

She holds a Master of Science in Environmental Conservation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and an Associate of Applied Science degree in Graphic Design from Western Technical College. For her Master's capstone project, she collaborated with American Bird Conservancy, Oregon State University, USFS Siuslaw National Forest, and Oregon Parks and Recreation using GIS to prioritize recreation areas for enrollment in a conservation campaign for Marbled Murrelet seabirds.\

In 2022, Meg joined The Conservation Fund as the Milwaukee Program Coordinator in Wisconsin. She assisted the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District in operating two flood prevention programs spanning seven counties. As a member of the Milwaukee River Watershed Conservation Partnership (MRWCP), she worked with agricultural producers, local and state governments, and land trusts to purchase land development rights and protect hydric soils.

With a passion for cartography and graphics, Meg is interested in exploring the intersection of GIS and visual design to communicate compelling stories in support of environmental conservation. Additionally, she serves on the Board of Directors of the Southern Wisconsin Land Conservancy and enjoys birdwatching and hiking in her free time.
