Meet the newest MountainTrue team member, Katherine Stahl

If you’re a MountainTrue member, it’s a safe bet to say you love America’s public lands. It’s pretty likely that places like Dupont State Forest, Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are near and dear to your heart. MountainTrue has a long history of standing up for local public lands. Whether it be in bringing places like the Needmore Tract, the Jocassee Tract, or Dupont into public ownership, or opposing oil and gas drilling and unsustainable clearcutting on our National Forests, MountainTrue has won some major victories, but never without a strong grassroots base.

MountainTrue is very excited to add to its grassroots organizing capacity by hiring Katherine Stahl as our Public Lands Engagement Manager. Katherine will help rally more communities, supporters, and partners to the continued protection and stewardship of public lands. In addition to organizing and mobilizing people to protect public lands, Katherine will also organize stewardship events like nonnative invasive plant removal and habitat improvement projects.

Meet Katherine:

As Public Lands Engagement Manager, Katherine works to foster public participation in processes affecting public lands in Western North Carolina. She comes to MountainTrue with a background in community organizing in Wyoming, where she focused on addressing the environmental impacts of fossil fuel production. She holds a Master’s Degree in Global Environmental Policy from The American University in Washington DC. Katherine is excited to connect with all of you passionate public land advocates – please feel free to reach out to her at katherine@mountaintrue.org to discuss any concerns or questions you may have on processes, policies, or projects affecting public lands.

Join us in welcoming Katherine to WNC and the MountainTrue team!
