Katie Beaver

Deputy Director

After graduating from the University of Vermont, where she majored in Environmental Science (B.S), Katie moved to Washington State. Her early career was spent in the field working for various government and non-government environmental organizations stomping around in the forests and along rivers treating invasive weeds, planting riparian trees, and monitoring endangered salmon species.

Katie attended the University of Washington in Seattle and received a dual master’s degree from the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences (M.S.) and the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance (MPA). After graduation, Katie worked for the City of Seattle managing its popular Trees for Neighborhoods program, which distributes trees to Seattle residents with the goal of increasing urban tree cover within the city. Before moving to Maine, Katie worked for King County for six years where she led land conservation and salmon restoration efforts within an urban river basin.

Originally from southern Rhode Island, Katie is thrilled to be back in New England and share the beauty of Midcoast Maine with her two young daughters. She lives in Newcastle with her husband, daughters, and chocolate lab.
