Sarah Wright
Director of Environmental Services
Sarah Wright has been an outdoor girl her entire life. It was only natural for her to study biology and work hard to preserve the environment so she could continue to play in the dirt.
Here at Burke, Sarah leads a team of environmental specialists in wetland and natural area assessments and delineations, as well as mitigation design and monitoring.
Over her nearly twenty years of experience, she has managed many large-scale restoration/preservation and native landscaping projects and has performed vegetative monitoring and flora inventories for environmental assessments. She is also Burke’s resident certified arborist, providing tree surveys and inventories, inspections, and protection and management plans.
When she’s not working in her outdoor office, Sarah works on continually breaking her dead lift personal record and perfecting her rolling skating skills
