Name:
Elizabeth Maclin
Job title:
Executive Vice President
About me:
I joined TU in 2007 to lead the organization's eastern conservation efforts, working from Georgia to Maine and over to the Great Lakes to protect, reconnect, and restore habitat for native and wild trout and salmon. In 2015, I handed over the reins of eastern conservation and took on a new role as TU's Executive Vice President.
Way back in 1993, I received a B.A. in biology from Colby College and later in 1998 an M.B.A. and M.S. in natural resource policy from the University of Michigan. As a result, I have a real soft spot for Maine and Michigan as well as western Massachusetts where as a child I spent countless vacations hiking, fishing, skiing and generally horsing about in and around my grandparents' farm and forest lands.
These days I spend much of my time hiking and exploring with my husband and two children in Rock Creek Park.
Favorite quote:
“One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast....a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it’s still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space.”
