Jane Finette

Jane Finette is an author, naturalist, and keen observer of both human and wild communities. She is the founder of The Women's Impact Alliance, which has supported thousands of young women social and environmental change leaders across the world, including those working in peace building, human rights, conservation and sustainability alongside many other fields of impact. This diverse community has enriched her understanding of how positive change manifests in both social and natural systems.

Drawing on her experience documenting transformative moments in her first book "Unlocked — How Empowered Women Empower Women," Finette applies the same thoughtful awareness to the subtle shifts of seasons and the wisdom found in neighborhood ecosystems. Her patient observation of natural cycles mirrors her approach to human development—seeing potential where others might overlook it and finding meaning in the quietest moments.

This practice of intentional observation, honed through years of leadership and community development work, now informs her nature writing with a unique perspective that bridges human and ecological growth patterns.

In her new work "In Her Nature: A Year of Wild Wisdom," Finette explores how the practice of patient attention to the natural world reveals lessons that apply to our own lives and communities.

A lifelong collector of small natural wonders and student of regional ecology, Jane now dedicates herself to documenting the overlooked wisdom in ordinary landscapes.

She lives in Boulder, Colorado, where she continues to find inspiration in the seasonal rhythms of the Rocky Mountain foothills and the wild teachers that thrive in this vibrant ecosystem.
