Alyssa Johnson

Outreach and Programs Coordinator
Cayuga Lake Harmful Algal Bloom Program Coordinator

Alyssa Johnson is a lifelong resident of the Finger Lakes with a deep-rooted passion for the natural world. With a background in wildlife management, environmental education, and natural resource conservation, she brings a wealth of experience to her role at CSI, which she joined in March 2024. Alyssa has worked with a variety of government agencies and nonprofit organizations, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and the National Audubon Society. She is dedicated to connecting people of all ages to nature and believes in making science inclusive, accessible, and engaging for everyone.

In her free time, Alyssa runs nature-based experiences through Airbnb under the name The Bare Handed Naturalist, offering private birding tours, guided hikes, and waterfall excursions in the Finger Lakes. She also enjoys birding, kayaking, camping, hiking with her dogs and fiancé, or simply relaxing in a hammock in the back yard!
