People
The More Mesa Preservation Coalition is pleased to announce that Caroline Robillard has recently joined our Board of Directors. Welcome Caroline! We are also happy to report that two interns from UCSB have joined our team as well. Jillian Roberts and Brecken Smith will be working with Board members on a wide variety of tasks: including building our supporter base, wildlife observations and research. Look for profiles of these new team members in upcoming features in our “People” section. We also welcome the more than 100 people who have joined our list of supporters during the past year. The graphic below, showing our nearly 1000 supporters, clearly illustrates the strong constituency of this wonderful open space.
