I shall be leaving the group after March 22 to take a place on the Administrative Workplace of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC) working within the space of elder justice. Having worn the hats of librarian, net designer, publication editor (for those who received a Preserve Land Replace, Mission & Individuals Information, Greenway & Path Information, or EAC Community E-newsletter up to now two years, that was me), social media supervisor, graphic designer, occasions marketer, information aggregator for Pennsylvania conservation, and extra, I’m wanting ahead to persevering with to develop these expertise in future settings and grateful for the possibility to hold that baton right here for a time.
I hope to stay engaged as a supporter of conservation for the remainder of my days.
The unity of the conservation group in Pennsylvania is one in every of its most exceptional cultural options. Actually, I’ve seen repeatedly in my tenure right here how organizations each non-public and public come collectively to make this necessary work occur. It’s due to that collaborative and decided spirit that land conservation, habitat and farmland preservation, sustainable forestry, watershed enchancment, parks, trails, and outside recreation stay an everyday function of our day after day lives on this commonwealth.
I’ll miss all of the individuals essentially the most: my colleagues at WeConservePA are so clever, earnest, and devoted to the mission. Our member and affiliate collaborators are exceptional professionals and terrific individuals, too. Time interfacing with them at conferences, conferences, and occasions (even digitally over Zoom or e-mail) is at all times academic and galvanizing.
Carrying a few of this inspiration ahead, I’m embarking on a long-term images expertise to doc a few of my favourite pure areas in central Pennsylvania and make the most of these photographs in a future artwork and efficiency venture.
