Kim Stinson, Director
The importance of having a personal connection to the work is what led Kim to work in the nonprofit sector. Her passion for the outdoors, and specifically outdoor recreation and a rural lifestyle, ultimately provided the foundation to cement her career path in support of these activities. Growing up in New Hampshire and actively involved in equestrian sports, skiing and hiking, Kim went on to obtain her BS in Environmental Science from Johnson State College with a focus on natural resources. Soon after graduating, she made the move to Alaska where she spent a decade skiing as much as possible! It was her time on snow which first introduced her to nonprofit work as a search and rescue dog handler. When Kim moved back to Vermont in 2013, she traded time on skis for time on her bike, which launched her into the local mountain bike industry where she continues to work as the Executive Director for the Ridgeline Outdoor Collective in support of public access to multi-use trails and backcountry glades in the central Green Mountains.  Outside of “work” time, Kim can be found supporting her daughter’s passion for competitive horseback riding, and managing her home garden.
