Teresa’s Summer Update

Teresa, our summer Communications and Community Engagement Assistant, has created a blog post detailing her time working to support OFT’s mission! Read all about her experience below.

With a background in sustainable agriculture, conservation, and a passion for community and storytelling, I was thrilled to join OFT this summer as their Communications and Community Engagement Assistant.

While much of my work with OFT was spent behind a screen, I explored how to best serve our community through our communication efforts. The OFT staff were incredibly supportive, helping me navigate the intricacies of farmland conservation, administration, and effective communications. One highlight was assisting with the execution of OFT’s 20th-anniversary celebration, which took us all to GoodLot. There, I witnessed the dedication of those who have amplified farmland protection in Ontario. It was a refreshing change of scenery from my home office, and I felt proud to contribute to this important movement, no matter the scale of my role.
