DERT is excited to introduce our new Executive Director, Paige!
Paige Anderson is the new Executive Director taking over from DERT co-founder, Sue Patnude. Paige’s education and professional work has centered largely around watershed health, water quality, and ecological restoration – all with a focus on community education and outreach. She received her undergraduate education from Western Washington University in Environmental Education and Policy, and her graduate education from the Evergreen State College in Environmental Studies and Landscape Ecology. Previously, Paige has worked for the City of Olympia Stormwater Department, City of Bellingham Parks & Rec, and owns the textile based art and supply company Ponderosa Creative. Paige enjoys sewing, tending to her houseplants, mushroom foraging, and most of all, being a wife and mother.
