As deputy director of the Forest Stewards Guild, Amanda Mahaffey supports programs including Women Owning Woodlands, Foresters for the Birds, and the North Atlantic Fire Science Exchange. Through that work, Mahaffey sees her role and the role of the Guild as one of community building, of bringing people together to work toward good, ethical forest management. Amanda earned her forestry degree from the Yale School of Forestry (and also holds a master’s degree in choral conducting from the University of Southern Maine) and is an officer of the Maine Prescribed Fire Council. She has lived in the Pine Tree State since 2004.
