Hitting the Trails with Mariel

September 29, 2023

A full body picture of Sarah, Tiffany, Sally, and Mariel all leaning on a wooden trail bridge and smiling into the camera. Behind them is dark hemlock forest.
L-R: Sarah, Tiffany, Sally, and Mariel.

When choosing a first site visit for a new TerraCorps member, it’s hard to beat the new trails at Conwell. What better way to learn about the care and hard work of volunteers and past TerraCorps members than to visit the bridge they built this summer or the beaver lodges at Jackson Swamp? Please join us in welcoming our new TerraCorps Land Stewardship Coordinator Mariel Hohmann to Hilltown Land Trust!

We spotted a beautiful-but-toxic Destroying Angel mushroom on the side of the trail. Look but don’t nibble!

We’re also excited to welcome back Sarah Welch, who has joined our staff as Community Engagement Manager (and person most likely to take a group photo).

Learn more about Mariel on our Staff and TerraCorps page, and in our donor newsletter later this fall. In the meantime, stay tuned for ways to join her on a trail work day or monitoring visit!

P.S. Want to join our team? Read more about our open positions and apply!

Tim, our land steward from last year, joined us for an unofficial handoff of the LSC hat to Mariel!
