Liz Petruska
Liz enjoys blending her love of the outdoors with her day job, where she currently serves as a National Program Specialist for the USDA Forest Service Forest Legacy Program. She has worked in the land conservation field for more than 20 years, with 12 years spent as staff for the Medomak Valley Land Trust, a Midcoast Conservancy legacy organization. In recent years Liz worked as Director of Planning and Acquisitions for the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, and as co-coordinator for the Maine Land Conservation Task Force. Working locally, statewide, and now nationally has given her a great appreciation of both the vast natural resources of the state and country and the importance of community-based projects.
Liz received her B.A. in Government and Public Service from the University of Notre Dame, and a Masters in Environmental Management from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Liz enjoys baking, hiking, boating, golfing, and time at home in Waldoboro with her husband and two cats.
