Born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada, Abby joined Huron Pines in 2010 as a Watershed Project Manager and eventually led the Kirtland’s Warbler Initiative – a collaborative effort that successfully transitioned the warbler off of the Endangered Species List. As the Community Program Director, Abby currently leads all aspects of community programming which includes land protection. In her role she uses facilitation, strategic community engagement planning, grant writing and education programming to understand the natural resource goals of local communities and then connect those leaders with technical resource experts who can help activate desired conservation and outdoor recreation projects. Outside of her 9 to 5, Abby can be found trail running, skiing, stand up paddleboarding, supporting cross-country running and community theatre programs – all while trying her darndest to keep up with two energetic kiddos.
