Caitlin Fisher grew up in Salisbury, Maryland and joined ESLC as a Communications Manager in spring of 2023. Cait began writing for National Geographic in 2009, graduated from Emory University in 2010, and spent the next 12 years farming at Greenbranch Farm in Salisbury, Ambrose Family Farm on Wadmalaw Island, the Greenheart Project in Charleston, and Amy’s Organic Garden near Richmond. After receiving an MFA in poetry and creative nonfiction from VCU in 2019, she helped start Oak Spring Garden Foundation’s Biocultural Conservation Farm in Virginia. She now lives in Royal Oak with her husband and the Eastern Shore’s newest conservationist (who is obsessed with tall trees and is just learning to crawl).
At ESLC, Cait practices her passions for writing, photography, and farming as she spreads the word about our land stewardship and various conservation projects. Cait still writes for National Geographic, as well as Growing for Market, the Essentialist, and Gourd Magazine. She also teaches workshops on native flowers, poetry, and natural dyeing at Adkins Arboretum.
