Zeb Albert has been named stewardship coordinator for the Wood County Park District.
Park District Director Chris Smalley made the announcement following completion of the hiring process.
“Based on the work of the interview committee, it was clear that Zeb is a great choice to lead this important department,” Smalley said.
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 their work involves removal of invasive plant species, and collection, cleaning, and cultivation of seeds from over 100 species of plants native to Wood County. 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 stewardshipstaff engages the assistance of many volunteers to help with their work each year.
