Staff
Field Science Lead/Interim Executive Director/Board Secretary
Eliza leads the field science for LandWEB, working with scientists and modelers to design field data collection that will best support landscape feedback systems. She received a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from Duke University. Vermont is her home state, and since returning after college she has worked in agricultural water quality, parks and recreation, land conservation, and stewardship. She is passionate about protecting the relationship between people and Vermont's natural resources, including open working land, forested land, wetlands, water bodies, and more. She views LandWEB as a key piece of the puzzle in providing land stewards the information they need to help protect our watersheds to everyone’s benefit. She loves reading on her porch in the summer and cooking with friends, and occasionally leaving her winter hibernation to snowboard.

Will Behm
GIS & Field Science Technician
Will Behm came to LandWEB in 2022 after graduating from Middlebury College with a joint degree in Environmental Studies and Biology. He is originally from Southwest Pennsylvania, where he began learning about environmental science and GIS while doing environmental justice work amongst the local coal and natural gas industries. In addition to his studies at Middlebury, Will has gained experience in GIS and field science via conservation and restoration work in the bluff country, tallgrass prairies, rice lakes, and peat bogs of Minnesota, as well as government research in Oregon's South Slough estuary. In his spare time, Will enjoys hiking, skiing, and plays in bluegrass band Otter Creek.
Board of Directors
Abe Collins
Chair
Abe is a grazing and soil-health student and practitioner who has innovated in community in the grassroots development of regenerative grazing, accelerated topsoil-formation, water-secure infrastructure design, quantified landscape-function for feedback to land stewards, and cooperativism for healing watersheds. He has herded and grazed sheep and goats, all-forage dairy cattle, and beef cattle.
Mike Antoine
Vice Chair
Jeannie Bartlett
Treasurer
Jeannie Bartlett grew up among the rocky hill-farms of western Massachusetts, and she has always been grounded by the people and the land who grow her food. From 2016 to early 2021 she managed the Franklin County Conservation District, where she was honored to work with farmers to improve their environmental stewardship and their financial viability. Jeannie now lives in central Vermont and works propagating fruit trees, as well as planting and pruning them in peoples' backyards. She is working towards starting her own fruit farm.
Christine Molling
Director
Christine Molling, M.S. Geosciences, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, has over 30 years of experience answering questions in agriculture, atmospheric science, and oceanography with data analysis and scientific modeling at the University of Wisconsin, Gorst Valley Hops, and Molling Scientific Consulting. Her work includes the Precision Agricultural-Landscape Modeling System, several volumes of NOAA-NODC’s Atlas of Surface Marine Data, and a large satellite data set underlying NREL’s National Solar Radiation Database. Much of her scientific skill derives from being a keen observer while she works, hikes, gardens, hunts, and paddles in the outdoors near her home in southern Wisconsin. Molling serves as the lead modeler at LandWEB.
Hayley Craddock
Director
Hayley Craddock is a Senior Accounting Associate at Furey Financial Services where she provides accounting services to high-growth startups as they scale.
