Emily Johnson joined The Piedmont Environmental Council as a Field Representative for Loudoun County in the Spring of 2025.
Growing up in Loudoun, she was that neighborhood kid running barefoot throughout the woods and falling in love with the landscape. Since graduating from the College of William & Mary with a Bachelors in Anthropology and Environmental Studies, Emily is honored to be back home and advocating for land solutions that respect her community for its deep history, beauty, and people. Like The Piedmont Environmental Council, she believes that sustainability must bridge the nature of places and the nature of people. In her prior work, Emily conducted oral histories within the Rappahannock River watershed for their preservation and integration into river herring restoration.
In her free time, Emily is an avid artist with a particular love for photography and was the Loudoun County Fair photographer for multiple years. She also loves to read poetry and spend sunny days out on a soccer field or on a hiking trail, especially with her dog, Winnie.
