Midcoast Conservancy is delighted to announce the addition of Hannah Chamberlain to its staff as its new land steward. Chamberlain brings a range of experience to the position; most recently, she has worked at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, where she built and maintained trails and coordinated volunteers. In addition, she was a thru-hiker on the AT in 2015.

After graduating from UMass-Amherst with a Bachelor of Science in environmental science, she completed a year of AmeriCorps service as the land stewardship coordinator for a small land trust in northwestern Massachusetts. As land steward, Chamberlain will work to manage and promote the lands that Midcoast Conservancy protects, while also helping to identify new conservation projects.

”Midcoast Conservancy shares my belief that human and natural communities complement and empower each other, and that conservation efforts can help to make them both stronger. I am so excited to become part of the work that Midcoast Conservancy does, and to have the opportunity help people become engaged and inspired by nature,” Chamberlain said.

When not out monitoring conserved lands, or working with volunteers, she can be reached at Hannah@midcoastconservancy. Contact her with any questions around land stewardship or to volunteer as an easement monitor. For more information, go to midcoastconservancy.org or call (207) 389-5150.​
