Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center is pleased to welcome Phoebe VanScoy-Giessler as the new Development & Communications Director. Phoebe was raised in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Politics from Ithaca College in 1996. She has worked in fundraising and communications for various nonprofit and educational organizations including NPR’s Fresh Air, with Terry Gross in Philadelphia, Westside Children’s Center in Los Angeles, CA, and the Governor Wentworth Regional School District. Most recently she was Development & Communications Coordinator at Lakes Region Community Services in Laconia.
“I love telling stories and making connections between great organizations
like Prescott Farm and the wider community,” Phoebe said. “Between the
Fledglings Nature-based Preschool, WildQuest camps, Naturalists in the
Classroom and our wide array of public programs, every day offers a new story.
I am eager to celebrate and share our mission!”
“This is an exciting time for Prescott Farm
as we look to engage on a deeper level with the greater Lakes Region community
through our business partnership program, volunteer opportunities, and
programs,” said Jude Hamel, Executive Director at Prescott Farm.
“We’re opening the doors to the natural world, providing hands-on
experiences for all ages throughout the year, and making a difference in the
lives of Lakes Region community members. We’re delighted that Phoebe has
joined our team to help us share our story and advance our mission of providing
top quality environmental education programs!”
