The Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor has named Mike Reed as its new executive director.

Reed brings over 30 years of experience to the position, most recently serving as the director of the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay. During his over 30 years with the organization, Reed helped develop a nature-based four-year-old kindergarten program and grew its summer camp offerings, both of which are things The Ridges Sanctuary has offered in some similar capacity in recent years. He also helped engineer fundraising projects that led to a number of improvements at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary including a new addition to its nature center.

Board President Linda Brooks lauded Reed’s experience, saying it will “ensure the continued success of The Ridges Sanctuary.”
