Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust is pleased to welcome Brad Weigel to the organization as its new stewardship director. He majored in environmental science at Indiana University, then worked seasonal jobs for various agencies and nonprofits including The Nature Conservancy, U.S. Geological Survey, and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. This winding path eventually led Weigel to realize a passion for ecological restoration, native plant establishment, and land conservation. Weigel will be responsible for managing over 5,000 acres of conserved lands and more than 50 miles of trails in the Damariscotta-Pemaquid region. Coastal Rivers owns 78 properties outright and co-manages 29 others.
