Hayden Vandeberg

Hayden comes to the NAP team from Central Montana where she resides on her husband’s family ranch, learning alongside them both the joys and struggles of ranching. She was born and raised in rural Montana having both an understanding of the agriculture world and a passion for conservation. She received a B.S. in Rangeland Management from Montana State University. She has spent the start of her career working for the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as a Range Management Specialist. It was here where she found her greatest joy was working directly with agriculture producers and learning from them on their operation. That is what excites her most about her new role here at the Quivira Coalition. She serves the Quivira Coalition as the New Agrarian Program Northern Plains Coordinator and is excited to work with mentors and apprentices alike and continue learning on the ground how to better the environment around her. In her free time Hayden enjoys spending her days on a horse, gardening, and spending time outdoors around the ranch with her two wild cowdogs and son Jack.
