New Land Bank Director

After a long search, the Land Bank LAND BANK MISSION & LINKS has a new Director. Dr.Lincoln Bormann (Ph.D.) and his wife were recently on San Juan island to attend a potluck dinner with the Land Bank, and make their final review of what it must be like to live in San Juan County.

Lincoln Bormann was one of a number of applicants for the Director position of the Land Bank, was offered the position, but had not accepted until recently. He will officially become the new Director on August first, when he will take over the helm from Acting Director, Eliza Habegger.

One thing that is certain, is the change for the Bormann's will be obvious. Currently the Bormann's reside in Florida, where Dr. Bormann works for the Nature Conservancy and worked on an Environmentally Sensitive lands Protection program for Sarasota County Florida.

Dr. Bormann received a masters degree in environmental policy from the University of Minnesota, and took his doctorate from Yale, in forestry and environmental studies.

The Land Bank plans to hold a number of Open House events in August to introduce their new Director to the various island communities.
