Muir has been working as HBF’s communications coordinator for the past year and will take over from former director Sonya Carpenter, who will continue to work as a part-time project coordinator for HBF. 

“The HBF Board of Trustees enthusiastically chose Charlotte Muir to be our Executive Director. She comes to HBF with experience in nonprofit administration and is well-qualified to take HBF to the next level,” said Julia Grumbles, president of the HBF Board of Trustees.

Muir holds a masters degree in arts administration, having served as theater director at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Colorado before moving to Highlands. 

HBF will have a full slate of programs this summer catering to all ages, including weekly conservation lectures beginning in July, daily activities at the Nature Center and workshops on various topics for those wanting to learn more about the Highlands Plateau’s diversity of flora and fauna.
