The Hudson Conservation Advisory Council shared the news on its Facebook page today of a change in leadership at the Columbia Land Conservancy: 

This week, we note the retirement of the great Peter Paden of the Columbia Land Conservancy, who has led the organization's tremendous growth over the past 14 years. We also welcome Troy Weldy, who takes the helm tomorrow. Weldy has 20 years of experience as a leader with the Nature Conservancy, most recently as Director of Lands for New York State. He is deeply experienced in conservation strategies, natural climate solutions and land management, stewardship and protection. We trust he'll be a major asset in preserving the environment that make our area great.
