ChelanDouglas Land Trust names new Executive Director

Hanne Beener will take over as Executive Director of the Chelan-Douglas Land Trust on June 30, following a nationwide search facilitated by Clover Search Works. With ten years at CDLT and previous experience as Policy & Planning Manager at TREAD, Beener is well-prepared for her new role. She emphasized the Land Trust's deep connection to community values, stating, "The organization is woven into the fabric of our region. " The Board praised her integrity and collaborative approach, reinforcing their confidence in her leadership. Beener's extensive background in conservation positions her to enhance the organization’s mission of conservation, restoration, and public access.

A community welcome event is planned for later this summer, with details forthcoming. The transition marks a significant step in CDLT's efforts to engage the community in sustainable land use practices. Local stakeholders look forward to her leadership in advancing conservation initiatives.
