After obtaining degrees in wildlife management/ecology and English from the University of Minnesota, Kathleen began a consulting/free lance career in natural resource communications. She works part-time for Tree Farm Program, Minnesota Forestry Association, Dovetail Partners, forest industry and additional public and private organizations to develop their respective communications and messaging. Kathleen also works part-time as the executive director of the Minnesota Forest Resources Partnership, a non-profit organization of the state’s largest forest land managers and landowners including the US Forest Service, Minnesota DNR, county land departments, forest industry, and private landowners. And, with the “part-time” that is left, Kathleen indulges in her greatest joy - the care and training of her rescue donkeys and horses who serve as therapy animals for children and adults dealing with the stresses of their respective worlds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491c073e4b01100d1cce33e/14fe9a31-cb87-425a-af54-13302cac2cf9/headshot.jpg Executive Committee - ANNA STOCKSTAD Anna Stockstad is a University of Minnesota Extension Educator in Forest Ecosystem Health based at the Cloquet Forestry Center.

Kaitlyn grew up on rural acreage in Wisconsin and now cares for her own 80 forested acres north of Bemidji, where she and her partner have a log cabin. An outdoor enthusiast and “tomboy” since childhood, Kaitlyn came to land stewardship through hands-on practice—balancing subsistence skills like hunting, foraging, and herbalism with stewardship skills like planting, invasive species management, and wildlife observation—all in service of living in relationship with place. With a professional background in journalism, writing, and communications, Kaitlyn spent over a decade working in marketing before leaving the corporate sector to pursue conservation-focused graduate studies. She is a Minnesota Master Naturalist and Minnesota Master Woodland Steward, holds a graduate certificate in Conservation Leadership, Policy, and Management, and is currently completing the Indigenous Environmental Systems and Economics graduate certificate at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Kaitlyn serves MNWWN as a Metro Area Network co-leader and supports MNWWN’s communications and outreach efforts.

She’s past Chair of the American Society for Enology and Viticulture-Eastern Section and served on the Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture Board of Directors. Recently retired from growing grapes, her interest in woodland restoration grew after taking the Minnesota Woodland Stewardship class offered by the University of Minnesota Forestry Extension and taught by Anna Stockstad. Lisa now spends her time in the woods on her and her husband’s farm in Southeast Minnesota, clearing Buckthorn, collecting acorns, starting seedlings and also restoring former CRP land back to prairie. Lisa is certified in Ecological Restoration through the University of Minnesota, is a Minnesota Master Naturalist volunteer and is on the Friends of the Bluffs Board in Red Wing. She loves learning about nature and has a deep appreciation for the Driftless Region in which she lives. She enjoys staying active outdoors, riding her motorcycle, restoring old trucks and spending time with her family, friends, horses, dogs and cats. P.S. No fawns hurt in the photo. Mom must have birthed it in the pasture and the horses were taking too much of an interest in it. I didn’t want it trampled, so just moved it to a wooded area just outside the fence. Mom found it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491c073e4b01100d1cce33e/1647106881135-E9EAWWUXW16B0K3HTX0I/Kathy_profile_Ahlers_closeup_against_wooden_fence_MNWWN.jpg Executive Committee - KATHY AHLERS Kathy has done citizen-scientist MN DNR water-quality volunteering (Secchi disk readings; benthic macroinvertebrate sampling/ID; wetland vegetation ID) and is fascinated with the idea of biogeomorphology. Her love for plants started with her grandmother, who kept seed, always had a huge garden and taught her which wild berries are edible and which are not. Kathy unschooled her two children through eighth grade, including teaching math and science in homeschool co-ops. Both of her adult kids have STEM careers. Kathy also was a Girl Scout leader. Her encampment "scat walks" were legion, and sparked girls to look for evidence of shy and nocturnal animals and generally to be curious about the natural world. She now coordinates group Meetup walks where she points out basic plants along the trail, and is known to quiz repeat attendees. Kathy connected with MNWWN for its shiitake and oyster mushroom cultivation workshop in 2019. Talk there strayed to the "lite" technology areas that have long been her work, and she has coached MNWWN on evaluating and implementing free and inexpensive tech resources. In her spare time, Kathy draws cartoons and is learning to make videos. She aspires to someday own land to farm hazelnuts and berries. A woodland on that land would be a bonus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5491c073e4b01100d1cce33e/1646974231551-YFICE5IKSTWX3GUZ4S05/JanBernu.JPG Executive Committee - JANET KS BERNU, Northeast Network co-leader Jan is the owner of an independent forestry/land management consulting company, Two By Forestry (TBF), that works with a variety of private and public entities but specializes in working with private landowners.

She worked for the Natural Resources Conservation Service for 32 years, 1/2 in Virginia and 1/2 in Minnesota where she served as the staff forester in St. Paul, then an easement forester in Brainerd.
