Linda is a founding member of Upper Saco Valley Trust. While completing her master’s degree at Antioch University New England, her thesis project, "How to Start a Land Trust,” became the groundwork that eventually grew into what USVLT is today. As the former Land Protection Specialist for USVLT for many years, her work has allowed her to do what she loves: work with landowners to permanently protect their land & to have a lasting impact on this landscape that she treasures. Her love of the outdoors began as a child wandering the woods, rocky shores & beaches in her hometown of Gloucester, MA and has continued on throughout her life. Linda has lived in New Hampshire for 30+ years & enjoys hiking, biking, xc skiing & traveling the world with her partner, Al Aldrich.

She graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a degree in communication/print journalism and later went on to obtain a M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction with a focus in secondary education. She enjoys exploring the woods, practicing yoga, rock climbing, mountain biking and taking pictures of pretty places.
