Miriam Duero

Miriam grew up in Manitowoc County and has called Sheboygan home since 2021. A lifelong passion for the outdoors led her to earn a degree in biology from Concordia University Wisconsin, where she discovered her calling in conservation. After graduation, she built her field experience through a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service internship and as a land steward with the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust.

Miriam joined Glacial Lakes Conservancy in 2023 and now serves as Land Director. She oversees the creation and monitoring of conservation easements, coordinates preserve monitoring projects, and plans and manages stewardship initiatives to improve habitat health. She also leads grant writing and management, works closely with volunteers, and supports fundraising efforts that sustain GLC’s mission. 

Miriam is passionate about connecting people to conservation and believes that protecting natural spaces today creates lasting benefits for both communities and wildlife in the future.

Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, kayaking, and exploring new trails, as well as reading, baking, working on puzzles, and relaxing in local coffee shops.
