The Wood County Park District has announced that Zeb Albert has been named stewardship coordinator.
“Based on the work of the interview committee, it was clear that Zeb is a great choice to lead this important department,” Park District Director Chris Smalley said following completion of the hiring process.
Albert has been a member of the Park District’s stewardship staff since 2014, serving as the restoration specialist. He graduated cum laude from Bowling Green State University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science – Environmental Science degree.
The Stewardship Department leads the Park District’s land management efforts. Much of its work involves removal of invasive plant species, and collection, cleaning, and cultivation of seeds from over 100 species of plants native to Wood County.
The stewardship staff also works to restore native plant habitats in the parks. Based out of the J. C. Reuthinger Memorial Preserve, on Oregon Road, the stewardship staff engages the assistance of many volunteers to help with their work each year.
