Anne Pendergast's passions intersect at land conservation and culture. Born and raised in Maine, Anne earned a BA from Bowdoin College and an MS from Oregon State University in geology. She came to Wyoming in 1983 to work for Marathon Oil in Casper as a geologist in oil and gas exploration. She retired from the oil business in 1987 to raise a family. Later, she did geological consulting work, primarily doing mineral evaluations for landowners in Sheridan and Johnson counties who were donating conservation easements to The Nature Conservancy. Anne went on to donate an easement on her own property and serve on the TNC Wyoming Board of Trustees for 16 years. In addition, she was a member of the National Advisory Council for The Brinton Museum for six years. Currently, she sits on the board for the Center for a Vital Community in Sheridan. A graduate of Leadership Wyoming in 2017, Anne enjoys fly fishing and world travel, as well as dogs, horses, gardening, and hiking. She has two grown children.
