We are excited to welcome two new staff members to Placer Land Trust!
Our new Membership Specialist, Elia Rivas, is a Placer native with a background in Environmental Studies and Sociology, combining her love of the natural world with her love of people, and her desire to strengthen the connection between the two. She is excited to share our mission with our community, strengthen relationships with our members, and ensure that people from all different backgrounds feel welcome on the land we protect together.
Our new Office Manager, Heather Harden, has lived in Lincoln since 2007. Her background includes a decade as Office Manager as well as experience a writer at the Modesto Bee and as a freelancer. Heather has long followed our progress and signed up as a volunteer during the pandemic. She enjoys time on trails in Auburn and is looking forward to joining the team and contributing to Placer Land Trust’s mission.
