Linda is a founding member of Upper Saco Valley Trust. While completing her master’s degree at Antioch University New England, her thesis project, "How to Start a Land Trust,” became the groundwork that eventually grew into what USVLT is today. As the former Land Protection Specialist for USVLT for many years, her work has allowed her to do what she loves: work with landowners to permanently protect their land & to have a lasting impact on this landscape that she treasures. Her love of the outdoors began as a child wandering the woods, rocky shores & beaches in her hometown of Gloucester, MA and has continued on throughout her life. Linda has lived in New Hampshire for 30+ years & enjoys hiking, biking, xc skiing & traveling the world with her partner, Al Aldrich.

While being raised in the Mount Washington Valley, Sam developed a deep appreciation for the land and its inhabitants. Almost every weekend, his dad and him would search out new hikes, where he’d always be on the lookout for wildlife. When going to John Fuller Elementary School, he would walk, bike, and in the wintertime ski there through Whitaker Woods. Since he was ten years old and until he left for college, he volunteered much of his time with the Conway Area Humane Society. He graduated from Kennett High School and went to Southern New Hampshire University, where he got his B.S. in Computer Science. He enjoys hiking, skate-skiing, volleyball, and he tolerates running.
