MELANEE BERLIN HIRED AS NEW QF HABITAT PARTNERSHIP SPECIALIST IN NORTH CAROLINA Quail Forever is proud to announce Melanee Berlin has been hired as a new habitat partnership specialist in North Carolina. The position will help connect Quail Forever’s current and future partners and grantors, while also encouraging people to foster a love of grassland habitat and wildlife. “Growing up as a woman that hunted and loved the outdoors, I didn’t know if there was a space for me in the conservation world or the possibility of a career in this field,” Berlin said. “So I’m thrilled to be a part of a team that works to combine my interests.” As part of her new position, Berlin will create a grant management system and track partnership programs, while helping develop educational and marketing materials, newsletters and other ways for the public in North Carolina to access information about Quail Forever's work in the south. “Melanee brings much needed creativity and organization to the team as a partnership specialist,” said Jess McGuire, Quail Forever’s working lands for wildlife bobwhite program coordinator. “She’s jumped right in and is providing just the lift we need. I'm looking forward to seeing her progress as we get moving.” Berlin will be based in Rutherfordton, N.C., west of Charlotte. Outside of work, she can be found hiking the trails around Rutherfordton or cooking her way through Gordon Ramsey cookbooks. https://bit.ly/3nKOhH4
