Spotlight on board member Kelly Buchanan
Name: Kelly Buchanan
Town: Concord, New Hampshire
Why you value Five Rivers: Five Rivers has an enormous role to play in what the greater capital region will look and feel like in the future. I'm thrilled to support Five Rivers because we are committed to conserving a landscape that adds richness to the lives of both residents and visitors.
Best part of your volunteer role: I love being a part of protecting our most valuable natural landscapes in the greater capital region – especially as it relates to agriculture and local food. I get excited about making sure we protect land while finding opportunities to support responsibly developed resources, like affordable housing.
Favorite Five Rivers property, and why: Marjorie Swope Park is minutes down the road from my downtown Concord home. I love zipping out for a quick walk in the woods with my dog. It's such a nice lunch break activity, especially since I work remotely.
Favorite thing about living in the greater capital region: I love the downtown Concord walkable lifestyle and how close we are to incredible recreation opportunities and conserved land! Concord's central location means that it's easy to get down to Boston, too.
Favorite thing to do outdoors: Anything with my mini-Aussie, Pete!
