Welcome Abigail Higgins, Huyck Preserve Stewardship Coordinator!
The Huyck Preserve is very pleased to announce the hiring of Abigail Higgins as its Stewardship Coordinator. Abby's training and background have prepared her well for the position focused on running the Preserve's land protection and resource management operations. Abby is originally from this region, having grown up in the Catskills and Hudson Valley. Her love of the forest began when she was young, and she has cultivated that throughout her professional career. Abby graduated from Stony Brook University with a bachelor’s degree in environmental biology, and she holds a graduate certificate in ecological restoration from University of Florida. After graduation, Abby worked throughout the Hudson Valley in the fields of restoration, horticulture, environmental education, and ecological research, which inspired her to pursue a career in land conservation. For the past two years, she has been at SUNY ESF in Syracuse, NY researching the old-growth forests of the Adirondack and Catskill Parks for her master’s degree. Abby is excited to work at a place so close to home and to be a part of the conservation efforts and biological research happening at the Huyck Preserve.
