Shasta Land Trust puts the

Volunteer Spotlight on...

	Ann Duchi

Ann Duchi has been with Shasta Land Trust since the very beginning.  She participated in initial brainstorming sessions about what the concept of a conservation easement actually was, and she was a member of the original Board of Directors before the organization even had an office for them to meet in.  She has always been a supporter of local conservation, be it energy, water, natural resources, or, in this case, significant lands, so the idea of a land trust was right up her alley. 

Although Ann is now retired from the board, she is still an active volunteer and a great asset to the organization.  She and her husband Francis (a current board member) often host Wildways parties and can be counted on for a variety of other volunteer efforts.  Currently, Ann is the driving force behind Terrain, Shasta Land Trust's biannual newsletter. 

For Ann "the idea of ‘connectivity' is important - both people to people and people to land, to nature, to beauty on a grand scale, to natural history and personal history... "we all have to work at this idea, to cultivate it, and Shasta Land Trust offers this opportunity, a perfect setting."

Shasta Land Trust is extremely grateful to Ann for everything that she has done and currently does to support the organization.  Thank you, Ann, we couldn't function without volunteers like you!
