Environmental Professionals Month, April 14th feature:
Laura O’Brien
CONSERVATION PROJECT MANAGER
Winnakee was able to protect 350 additional acres of high priority lands in 2024. This year, we’re on track to do even more with your help.”
What: I’m responsible for new land protection projects. This includes donations and purchases of lands and conservation easements.
How: I support landowners interested in their land protection options, evaluate conservation resources, apply to grants, and draft conservation easement terms.
Why: Growing up, I was aware that my ability to enjoy the outdoors and learn about nature was contingent on the ability of organizations like ours to protect and steward land.

Consider a gift to support Winnakee’s work!
