Meet our presenters:
Catherine Dufault is a resident of Sandwich and has been the Carroll County Conservation District Manager since 2021. An internship at a land trust for the University of Maine at Farmington's Environmental Policy and Planning Bachelor's Program sparked her love for the diversity of apples. With a work history that includes forestry, National Parks interpretation, and food recycling, Catherine is excited to bring more conservation opportunities to Carroll County residents.
Jared Kane joined Branch Hill Farm as their Executive Director in 2019 after donating countless hours of instruction for fruit tree grafting and pruning workshops. While a passion for history led Jared to pursue a degree from the University of New Hampshire, his interest in studying New England apple history developed when he moved to the area more than 10 years ago. In 2020, Jared started The Preservation Orchard @ Branch Hill Farm, where over 100 rare and wild varieties are preserved for future generations. Jared lives in Milton Mills, New Hampshire with his wife, Ashley and daughter, Kennebec and is an avid sportsman with a dedication to conservation.
