Laurel Hauser has been named the permanent Executive Director of Crossroads at Big Creek Learning Center and Nature Preserve.  Named the interim director back in April, the board of directors unanimously voted to offer Hauser the full position of Executive Director on October 21.  Hauser says she is excited to lead Crossroads and has worked closely with Coggin Herringa, the former director and now naturalist and program director.  Hauser shares some of the recent happenings at Crossroads. 

Hauser notes that Crossroads plans to replace three of the five existing trail bridges in 2021.  Family programming is being developed, subject to any health restrictions in place, where stations along the trails would have animal characters offering educational information to children.  You can listen to the entire interview with Laurel Hauser on the podcast page at DoorCountyDailyNews.com.
