Our Staff

Bryan Nielsen became the Executive Director of Utah Agricultural Land Trust in January 2024. He comes to UALT with experience in education administration and human resource management. As a fourth-generation farmer in southern Idaho, Bryan relishes the West’s ag lands and is committed to conserving these lands for their agricultural value now and into perpetuity. He and his wife reside in Logan, Utah but still call rural southeastern Idaho their home.

Dianne demonstrates a collaborative focus that is truly impressive and will quickly build synergies that will benefit our growth partners as well as UALT.  Dianne brings abounding energy to her role and will no doubt have a positive impact on the organization.
