Mattapoisett Land Trust (MLT) is pleased to announce that Sarah French Storer is hired as Operations Manager effective January 1st. Sarah replaces Colleen Andrews who served ably as MLT’s first paid employee and moved on to a new opportunity in Boston in November 2024. Sarah will manage MLT’s community engagement and land stewardship activities as well as assist with all aspects of MLT.
Sarah has lived in Mattapoisett for a good part of the last 20 years and is known to many residents for her occasional service as a shellfish and animal control officer as well as a reporter for local papers. She brings a strong background in land conservation and non-profit management, having served as the Land Manager at Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust for 15 years and as a church administrator in New Bedford for five years. Sarah received her B.S. in Wildlife Biology and Management from the University of Rhode Island in 1995.
Sarah’s skills are a perfect fit for the growing needs of MLT. President Mike Huguenin says “MLT is fortunate to hire someone with Sarah’s deep experience in land conservation to help us continue building our capabilities.” And Sarah tells us “I am absolutely delighted to join my hometown’s land trust and help continue MLT’s 50 years of accomplishments.” Please join us in welcoming Sarah to MLT.
