From the President

Back to Center

"Right now, the coast we love is facing complex challenges that call for complex solutions, and I see MCHT strengthening, evolving, expanding to meet these challenges head on.

I also know that in order to stay effective, we must remain centered—as individuals and as an organization.

Thankfully, the thing we work to protect—nature—has an unsurpassed ability to call us back to where we need to be.”

Erin Rollins, 4-H Alumna and Future Veterinarian

“I honestly don’t know what I would be doing with my life right now if I hadn’t been a part of the Farm Hands and Aldermere Achievers 4-H programs at Aldermere Farm Preserve.

4-H instilled in me a sense of responsibility and hard work, which definitely is needed in veterinary school. I learned that if you have a goal and you work hard towards it, you can achieve it.”

Name that MCHT Preserve

Some hints…
