FLATHEAD LAND TRUST STAFF

Marilyn Wood became our Executive Director in May 2007. Marilyn joined the Flathead Land Trust as the Conservation Director in August '05 after 13 years as the NW Montana Program Manager for the Nature Conservancy. Marilyn started her career as a wildlife biologist working with grizzlies in Yellowstone Park and later worked as a special projects biologist for Montana Department Fish, Wildlife and Parks. When not working to save special landscapes in northwest Montana, Marilyn enjoys refining horse training techniques through understanding the horse’s ability to learn. Other favorite pastimes are hiking in Glacier National Park, kayaking, and dreaming about world travels.

Dan Vincent retired in 2004 after 31 years with Montana's Fish Wildlife and Parks to become part time Director of the Great Northern Environmental Stewardship Area (GNESA). He holds degrees in Resource Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Management from the University of Montana. His wife, Teri, and four children keep him active when he's not performing GNESA activities or hunting, fishing, camping, boating, gardening or tinkering with classic cars.

Dawn Tacke became our new Office and Communication Manager in October 2007.  She comes to Flathead Land Trust from a background in human services and case management—most recently as a case manager with the Flathead One-Stop Workforce Center and prior to that, a  Production Supervisor and Employment Specialist with Flathead Industries.  From her human services work, she brings valuable management and organizational skills, along with a strong desire to continue doing work that is meaningful to the community.

Anastasia (Stacy) Allen is our new Conservation Programs Manager. She has over fifteen years of experience in natural resource assessment and management. Most recently she worked as an ecologist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station on Forest Inventory and Analysis in Salmon, Idaho.

An avid traveler, Stacy traveled to Armenia in October 2006, where she volunteered with the Armenia Tree Project, a group that is working to reforest degraded forestlands. She helped develop a monitoring plan for the reforestation effort.
