Rhyan Paquereau

Rhyan is responsible for overseeing the management of LELT's conserved lands, working closely with his colleagues to ensure that these lands are ecologically healthy, accessible to the community for many uses, and feel welcoming to all. He holds a bachelor's degree in parks & forest resources from Unity College and has spent much of his career working in conservation. Prior to joining LELT in 2026, he worked for Greater Lovell Land Trust, Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, and Maine Coast Heritage Trust. Having grown up in Maine, he is passionate about providing access to the outdoors for all people and believes that fostering strong relationships with the land is key to taking good care of it. When the weather is warm, you can find Rhyan floating in his canoe or hiking in the mountains; when the leaves change color, you can find him hunting in the woods; and when the lakes are frozen, you can find him out ice fishing or trudging around on snowshoes.
