Laurel Hauser has been named assistant director of Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay. Hauser brings to Crossroads experience as development director for the Door County Land Trust, a free-lance writer, a former newspaper editor and a member of the Sturgeon Bay Common Council.  Hauser believes all of her experiences will work well for the 200-acre nature preserve on Michigan Street near Highway 42/57.

It was those experiences that Matt Luders, President of Crossroads at Big Creek's Board of Directors, says made Laurel Hauser the logical choice for the newly created position of assistant director.

Laurel Hauser says her involvement with The Crossroads at Big Creek is almost part of her family's DNA.  Her father-in-law was among those who backed the idea of a school forest preserve in Sturgeon Bay, her sister-in-law was married at Crossroads and Hauser and her family spent many days on the preserve's trails.
