Executive Projects Director at The Trail Conservancy

Charlotte is a native Texan with over 23 years of experience in landscape architecture and project management in Austin and across Texas. She is a registered Landscape Architect and LEED AP. She has led and designed projects ranging from parks to corporate campuses and sports venues to children’s gardens.

Charlotte is the Executive Projects Director at The Trail Conservancy and leads all the capital and infrastructure work on the 10-mile Butler Trail in downtown Austin around Lady Bird Lake including park spaces, trail-wide plans, exercise stations, overlooks, and award-winning restrooms.

A country girl at heart, she has a passion for outdoor spaces in the city for everyone to use and enjoy. She believes that the Butler Trail and Lady Bird Lake in Austin are the crown jewels of our city and that experiencing nature can change people’s lives, as it did hers when she started walking on the trail in 2000.
