Lindsey Wight
Executive Director
Lindsey grew up in central Vermont, but spent her post-college years travelling the country and exploring other states, mountains, and rivers. She is pleased to have made her way back home, and enjoys exploring the Missisquoi watershed from her home in Jay. She appreciates the great dedication and passion that the Upper Missisquoi and Trout Rivers Wild & Scenic Committee members have for these rivers and this area, and is delighted to be a part of helping to protect and preserve these great resources.
Sarah Lunn
Project Manager
Sarah grew up on a horse farm in Georgia, Vermont while frequently traveling north to enjoy the Missisquoi watershed. She left Vermont to study Biology in New Hampshire for college, but is ecstatic to return back to her roots in northern Vermont. She started serving for us through the VT DEC ECO Americorps program in 2021, and has stuck around with us since. In 2023, she has officially joined UMATR staff as our Field Coordinator! In her free time, she is a volunteer ski patroller at Jay Peak, enjoys hiking with her dog Pearl, and spends as much time outside as she can exploring the Green Mountain State. Reach out to her with any event questions!
