Our Restoration Ecologist, Jamie, is moving on to her dream job!

We want to wish Jamie Van (Jamie VandenLangenberg) a joyful farewell and a huge THANK YOU as she flies north to her natural habitat. She has landed herself her dream job as the Water Program Director at North Lakeland Discovery Center and we know that it was meant to be. She and her amazing family spent so much time up north that this was the next logical step. We will miss her here at Marek and hope to visit soon in Manitowish Waters!

As our Operations Manager and Restoration Ecologist Jamie wore a lot of hats and did it with a cheerful smile and a contagious positive attitude. Her plant knowledge and comprehensive understanding of ecological systems was a strong suit and she shared that openly. She also interviewed many candidates for positions here and helped make the team we are today, which we are all proud to be a part of. We are stronger and better for Jamie’s work and passion.

She gave new team members religion about what we do here at Marek. If you know us, you know that our practice is as close to religion as it is to craft and to art and to science. We practice whole heartedly and truly believe that we’re doing the most important work on Earth. She knew us as a firm well and she believed in our mission and knew our tools, our methods, and our team members well.  She will be missed! With a deep bow we all wish her all the best!
