Nicie Panetta grew up exploring the woods and coastlines of New England, experiences that sparked her lifelong passion for wild places. She now leads efforts to protect “forever-wild” lands across the northeast, drawing on her extensive experience in nonprofit leadership, finance, and communications.
Nicie will share how rewilding—allowing nature to reclaim and restore its own balance—offers hope for biodiversity, climate resilience, and stronger connections between people and the land. Drawing on her work with the Northeast Wilderness Trust, and her roots here in Manchester, she will invite us to imagine what a wilder Cape Ann, and a wilder northeast, might look like.
We’ll have a short Annual Meeting to elect officers and trustees, and to present 2024 financial results, 2025 activities, and discuss our plans for the future. Then we’ll turn it over to Nicie Panetta!
Riversbend Restaurant in Essex is generously hosting us. Enjoy their wood-fired pizza, courtesy of our sponsors, and a cash bar. (Gluten free pizza is available!)
Registration is required to make sure everyone has a seat!
