After nearly four years supporting the Land Trust’s stewardship team, Marlowe Moser is stepping into a new role as Conservation Coordinator, with a focus on advancing protection efforts in the Quimper Wildlife Corridor.
Marlowe first joined the Land Trust as Stewardship Assistant, working alongside staff, volunteers, and landowners to monitor conservation easements and help care for our protected lands.
“Through my work in stewardship, I became more and more interested in the project development and acquisition process,” Marlowe says. “I started joining the Land Trust’s Conservation Projects Committee meetings and conservation team meetings to better understand what was coming down the pipeline, and what the stewardship implications would be. This role felt like a natural next step in my career.”
Conservation Project Manager Blaise Terhune is thrilled to have Marlowe on the team, and was quick to note how her background and interests made this transition a natural fit.
“You can’t talk about the strengths Marlowe brings to our conservation work without acknowledging the years she spent on the stewardship team,” Blaise says. “She understands the legal standards we must meet, how to build positive relationships with landowners, and the level of detail it takes to move complex projects forward.”

Marlowe’s new role comes at a pivotal moment for the Quimper Wildlife Corridor project, where renewed outreach to landowners and upcoming grant applications are setting the stage for another concentrated phase of land protection.
“It takes a lot of skill to keep multiple projects moving at once,” Blaise adds. “Marlowe has the organization, the focus, and the passion for this landscape to help us do just that.”
With expanded capacity on the conservation team, the Land Trust is primed and ready to expand protection of the forests and wetlands that define this treasured urban greenbelt.
