Welcome to Mike Perrin

Mike Perrin has joined the SVT staff as our new Conservation Associate. Working in the Land Protection department, Mike will help to identify and prioritize properties for protection, engage the public at community events, and build relationships with municipal and local land trust partners.

He will also be hosting workshops highlighting SVT's new land protection prioritization mapping tool, and he is happy to receive any inquiries to spread the information about this tool.

Mike comes to SVT from the municipal conservation field, most recently working as Assistant Conservation Administer for the Towns of Weymouth and Kingston. An alumnus of the TerraCorps-AmeriCorps program, he has served and worked with land trusts across New England, including the Audubon Society of Rhode Island, Wareham Land Trust, and Berkshire Natural Resources Council.

Mike earned his B.S. in Environmental Studies from the University of Vermont, and he is also an avid birder.

“I've always admired SVT for their commitment, efforts, and continued progress in land conservation,” said Mike. “As a passionate advocate for land conservation and stewardship, I am excited to join the staff and be part of the effort to protect the beautiful landscapes of this region.”

Laura Mattei, SVT Director of Conservation, added, “I am delighted to welcome Mike to our staff. He is an enthusiastic advocate for land protection, and his experience in municipal conservation and with land trusts will make him the ideal ambassador to SVT’s partners in our 36 communities.”
