| New Soil Health Coordinator Amy Seiger |
The Oklahoma Conservation Commission is pleased to welcome Amy Seiger to the OCC team. Amy will serve as Soil Health Coordinator where she will coordinate soil health activities between the OCC and its partner agencies. Amy is excited to join the Conservation Commission because she wants to be “a part of a bigger picture helping families and our communities grow in education and awareness to help our future.” Amy comes to the Oklahoma Conservation Commission from the Natural Resources Conservation Service where she served on the Soil Survey.
Amy has a strong background in soil health. Growing up on a large pecan operation in the small town of Stonewall, Oklahoma, Amy’s love for soil science began when she started participating in her first land judging competition at the age of 10. During her time competing in land judging she earned several awards including a 5th place individual award and her team took home the National Championship in the National Land Judging competition. She went on to participate in College Soil Judging competitions where she won several team and individual regional awards. Amy graduated from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Plant and Soil Science and a Master’s of Science in Soil Science with a minor in Geology.
In her free time, Amy likes to run her small business and play and garden outside with her family. Amy lives with her husband, Jeremy, and their two children Garrett and Paityn in Newalla, OK.
Amy can be reached at 405-522-4739 or at amy.seiger@conservation.ok.gov. Welcome to the Conservation Team Amy!
