Nan Bartow was delighted
to join the Board of the Urban Resource Initiative in May of
2005. In her earlier years she developed a deep appreciation
for water, land, and nature in the marshes of Cohasset, Massachusetts,
the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the highlands of Yosemite
National Park, the Alps of Switzerland, and the Sahel of Chad,
Africa, where she served as a Peace Corps volunteer. A high school
English educator, Nan spent most of her teaching years at the
High School in the Community, one of New Haven's public magnet
schools. She is actively involved in Friends of Beaver Pond Park,
a group that is working to preserve the wildlife and to improve
the natural beauty of the ponds and the park through the URI
Greenspace program. Now in retirement, she wishes to combine
her love for teaching and for land conservation by serving on
the Greenspace and the Education committees of the Board of URI. |
