Abigail Harvey has been appointed executive director of the Lebanon Valley Conservancy (TLVC), a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the natural, cultural and historical resources of the Lebanon Valley.
Harvey, a new TLVC employee, will focus on advancing the organization’s strategic land protection priorities, as well as sustainable fundraising to support its mission and community conservation initiatives, such as tree planting and environmental education. She has already helped with the organization’s Earth Day, Earth Month, and Arbor Day events.
โAbigail is very passionate about the environment and conservation,โ TLVCโs land protection director, Courtney Reimann, said in a release. โHer leadership skills and enthusiasm will not only benefit the Conservancy, but also our community.โ
Harvey said in the release that the conservancy’s next big event is Tour de Lebanon Valley on June 8. The cycling event provides participants with “amazing views of the countyโs landscapes,” she said. “After that, weโre hosting our 2024 golf tournament on August 26 at Lebanon Country Club. The course is Audubon-certified, so thereโs a focus to preserve and enhance wildlife habitat and protect natural resources. Both events will help us raise funds to support upcoming environmental projects and conservation in the Lebanon Valley.”
