Best of Luck to Pam Hess in her Next Adventure!
Last Friday marked Pam’s final day as Executive Director of Land’s Sake, after 10 years of service to the organization.
| | | | Pam was never afraid to get her hands dirty. Whether working alongside the farm crew in the field, stepping in to teach programs, or cultivating relationships and support for the farm, she always showed up with commitment and care. | | |
During Pam's tenure, Land’s Sake experienced tremendous growth and change, including securing a long-term lease with the Town of Weston and building permanent infrastructure on the farm.
We are very grateful for Pam's dedicated leadership, and wish her all the best in her next chapter!
| | With support from the Town of Weston and the Weston Conservation Commission. |
