Executive Director Farewell and Job Opening

I have worked five years at the Conservation District, first as the Community Forester and more recently as the Executive Director. It has been a privilege to serve our community and to support the WCCD staff who bring so many amazing programs to our farmers and residents. I’m looking forward to this next chapter in my life where I can focus on being a new mother and spend more time supporting my family. My last scheduled day is June 26, so find me at the Native Plant Expo and Marketplace on June 6th for an in-person goodbye. -Summer Roberts
