Lindsey Jerome is the Senior Ecological Monitoring Coordinator at Stone Barns Center. Originally from Ossining, she received her B.S. in Environmental Biology from the SUNY College of Environmental Science in Forestry in 2017. Following the receipt of her M.S. in Environmental Systems in 2019, she worked in various mycology and microbiology laboratories. In 2023, she pursued her first applied mycological endeavor, working to remediate industrial waste using saprobic fungi at a start-up in Illinois. Her eagerness to return home and pursue a career in environmental systems monitoring is what brought Lindsey to Stone Barns in May of 2024. Here, Lindsey helps facilitate ecological monitoring, including soil and water quality, and insect, plant and bird diversity.

Off the farm: Lindsey can typically be found hiking, kayaking or camping, but is more often crouched on the forest floor looking for mushrooms.
