Liam is a conservation enthusiast with a strong interest in trail design and publicly accessible lands. He discovered his passion during his AmeriCorps service with The Student Conservation Association (SCA), where he served on a roving trail crew across the Pacific Northwest and later with the NYS Excelsior Conservation Corps' Infrastructure and Sustainability Crew. Throughout his AmeriCorps service, Liam gained practical work skills experience and received specialized trainings in carpentry, wet and dry masonry, and historic preservation practices. After his time with the SCA, Liam became the Senior Trails Technician for New York State Park’s Thousand Islands region. There, he helped manage the trails in the region’s 28 state parks and supervised the day-to-day work of the SCA Parks Corps trail crew, providing their main source of on-the-job training and trail skills instruction.

Liam joined MALT as the Trails and Volunteer Manager in 2023, to use his knowledge and experience to support MALT's mission of preserving and protecting the natural beauty of Addison County. In his free time, Liam enjoys hiking, making things with his hands, and exploring new trails far and wide. Liam is eager to contribute his skills and experience to MALT's work and help ensure the well-being and long-term sustainability of the area's natural and human communities. Contact liam@maltvt.org.

Rachel is our new(ish) Education Manager! She comes to us with a background in Parks and Recreation Management, entrepreneurialism with a yoga and food truck business, and is a homeschooling mom of two. She has spent many summers in National and State Parks taking children and adults on guided tours and providing fun and active programming. Recently, Rachel has been connecting with children and adults in the area either by teaching yoga or whipping up some food at events. She is now ready to put outdoor education on the forefront and is planning on including yoga and food in on some of that!

Rachel likes to think outside of the box when it comes to programming and teaching. She has always found it easy to meet children on their level, wherever that may be and is continuously impressed and inspired by nature in all of its beauty, simplicity, and challenges.

With an open heart and mind, she is excited to be working with the MALT community and along the TAM (her first place ever hiking in Vermont- how serendipitous!). She is looking forward to connecting, listening, and learning in order to create new and unique experiences for nature lovers young and old. Contact rachel@maltvt.org.

John has been volunteering with MALT for over 30 years. From 1990 - 2000 John helped secure landowner agreements and expand the trail from its Middlebury origin to New Haven, Weybridge, and Cornwall. During that time, John also helped navigate critical agreements with Middlebury College and VT Marble Co. to build the Boathouse and Belden Falls Bridges, respectively.

Over the years he has served on the MALT Board and as our manager of the trails, working with numerous volunteers, interns, high school and college groups, and partner organizations to build and maintain the TAM. He continues to volunteer doing trail work after 33 years. John, words cannot capture your history with MALT nor your contributions to our community. THANK YOU!

Rachael has taken care of our finances for 14 years, and drops in to help with events as well. We are very fortunate to have her, as she has about 10 jobs (we are guessing). She likes to stay busy!
