Huyck Preserve Staff


Executive Director


Picture
Anne Rhoads, Ph.D.
Anne@huyckpreserve.org

Anne was the Director of Conservation and Education starting in 2017 and became the Preserve's Executive Director in July 2019.  Anne has been a member of the Preserve since moving to the area with her family in 2009.  The multi-pronged mission of the Preserve attracted Anne, while her children fell in love with the waterfall, lake, and boardwalk trails.  

Anne holds a Ph.D. from Brown University where she focused her research on forest ecology and the impacts of human and natural disturbances on forest communities.  She has always been passionate about environmental protection and knew from the outset that she would apply her knowledge of natural systems to working in land conservation. 

As Executive Director, Anne oversees the Preserve's operations and is also the staff member responsible for the education and research programs.  She loves connecting the local community and region with the land through education and stewardship and enjoys using her research background to build connections between researchers and the public.  Anne loves that the Huyck Preserve plays such a vital role in our community and strongly believes that exposing people to the wonders of nature through field trips, summer programs, and events for all ages positively impacts lives and is the best insurance for long-term environmental stewardship.  Contact Anne to share your ideas or for information on education programs, conservation initiatives, research opportunities, or ways you can be involved with the Preserve as a volunteer.
