Kinsey started as a preserve intern at Brinton Run Preserve in 2025 with the North American Land Trust, and quickly became a critical part of our team, and was brought on as a full time preserve manager. Kinsey helps with a variety of maintenance, interpretive, and educational endeavors at our public preserves.

Kinsey graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology from West Chester University with a concentration in ecology and conservation. She previously served as a land steward intern at the Robert B. Gordon Natural Area at West Chester University, a position similar to the one she holds at Brinton Run. Among her many duties, Kinsey is working on cataloging some of plant, animal, and fungus species she finds at the public preserve. “I am really interested in plants and fungi,” Kinsey, 23, of Milford, PA, said recently. “I think it would be cool and useful to document the species diversity here at Brinton Run.
