Jackson returns as land steward after working for DCC in summer 2023 as stewardship assistant. Hailing from Pennsylvania, he learned to and continues to enjoy hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, hiking, and anything outdoors. A passion of his has always been conservation – in high school he completed his Eagle Scout project building 27 bluebird houses as well as an FFA project building 7 turtle basking platforms.

Jackson graduated from the University of Maine at Machias with an associate’s degree in liberal studies. Once he arrived, he quickly fell in love with the woods and waters Maine has to offer. He spent 6 years in the Maine Air National Guard as a security forces member. Jackson is happy for the opportunity to conserve and take part in protecting habitats and properties that will continue on the beautiful and unique Maine countryside.

In October 2024 DCC welcomed Lexie Morrill as administration Manager. Lexie has an environmental education background, working the past few years leading youth programs across the state. One trip in particular, River Camp, has been her favorite as it has allowed her to come home to Downeast Maine every summer to work with community organizations Cobscook Institute and Downeast Salmon Federation on habitat conservation and access projects with local professionals.

Though she’s a seasoned canoer, Registered Maine Guide, and Wilderness First Responder, Lexie is excited to turn her former work back into play and step into the office at DCC to serve her community in a different way. She lives in her hometown of Steuben, enjoys regular visits to Pigeon Hill Preserve, cooking and, at the end of the day, curling up with a good movie.
