Tina Thieme Brown, Board Member

Tina has served on SCA’s board since 1999.  But her work as an environmental activist began ten years prior to that, in 1989, when the Exxon Valdez Oil Tanker spilled 11 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound in Alaska.  She created a traveling exhibit explaining the environmental impact of the spill.  Tina is an artist.  Her illustrated map of the Ag Reserve has been widely distributed and influential.  Tina is the coauthor of two books: “Eastern Woodland Wildflowers and Trees, 350 Plants observed at Sugarloaf Mountain” and “Sugarloaf: The Mountain's History, Geology, and Natural Lore.” At SCA, Tina helped lead SCA’s lawsuit opposing an expansion of the coal fired power plant in Dickerson, and, most recently, led SCA’s effort to protect Sugarloaf Mountain and its surrounding landscape from development.  Tina can often be found walking, biking or painting landscapes on West Harris Road and Sugarloaf Mountain.
