Contact Via Email

Fred is the lucky employee who spends most of his time outdoors on the Trust’s Thomas P Bentley Preserve. A graduate of West Chester University, Fred has spent most of his adult life protecting the water and land of Pennsylvania and Chester County. He has served as a board member and officer of Trout Unlimited at both the local chapter and state level, a biological technician and wildland fire fighter with the National Park Service, and a preserve manager with Natural Lands. He even spent time as Mr. Gender teaching biology and environmental science to middle and high school students. His passion for the outdoors and all things natural is fueled by his love of fly fishing.
