Laura Schliesske joined The Piedmont Environmental Council as an Advancement Assistant in August 2025. Prior to that, Laura worked as a ranger at Sky Meadows State Park, where she gained a deep appreciation for PEC’s conservation work through the park’s connection to PEC’s property at the Piedmont Memorial Overlook. She has years of experience connecting Sky Meadows visitors to that important resource and is excited to expand her commitment to PEC’s mission as a member of the advancement team. 

Laura came to her commitment to environmental conservation through her experiences of outdoor recreation. The Virginia Piedmont has been both her home and her favorite escape for hiking, camping and trail running. As a result, Laura is passionate about protecting this beautiful place for the communities that live here and for future generations.
