Rickie White

Rickie is ECWA’s Executive Director and resident “plant nerd”.  For the past 20 years, Rickie has worked to collaborate with citizens, non-profits, and governmental agencies, to implement and manage ecological research and restoration projects in Chicago, DC, and the Southeast United States.  Most recently, Rickie led NatureServe’s Southeast conservation science/ecology team in using research to better understand and protect rare ecosystems across the region.  When not waxing poetic to innocent bystanders about the wonders of plants, Rickie enjoys gardening, walking his dog Juno through 17-Acre Wood, and imagining what it would be like to be Beaver Queen for a day. 

Contact Rickie with inquiries about fundraising and planned giving, potential future partnerships with other organizations, and any assistance you can give us in working towards our vision of a protected corridor from downtown Durham to Falls Lake.
