Ruthie Boyd

As the Program Director at Sheep Mountain Alliance, Ruthie is focused on centering SMA in conversations about community-based environmental initiatives in the Telluride Region. Originally from Breckenridge, Colorado, Ruthie brings with her a love for the outdoors and for protecting wild places. After attending Carleton College in Minnesota where she studied environmental anthropology through the lenses of sustainable development and ecotourism, Ruthie returned to Colorado where her work has focused on engaging communities in the Telluride region in environmental advocacy efforts. Outside of her work at SMA, Ruthie is the chair of the Town of Telluride Ecology Commission, a One to One Mentor, a cross-country ski coach, and a connoisseur of all things chocolate.
