Howard and his wife Phylis were great supporters of ours and his spirit will live on in our mission. I only had the great pleasure of meeting him on several occasions when I first arrived and we quickly found the common ground of four years spent at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. Although we were of different generations, the alumni thread runs deep and our shared experiences made that common connection special. CAPT Crosby spent his […]

Gundalow Company appoints JESS OHRENBERGER as full-time Program Manager. Jess wears many hats for Gundalow, including supervision of the tremendously popular Summer Camps and Youth Programs, as well as scientific outreach to the public. Prior to assuming this role, Jess was a first- and second-grade teacher at Seacoast Charter Elementary and Middle School in Dover, N.H.

“I have always loved being outdoors, and I love the ocean,” says Jess. “But maybe above all, I love being a part of conservation work and place-based outdoors education, seeing the reactions of the kids as they experience new things, be it a lobster under a rock or learning why the color of the sea is blue. They’re so curious and enthusiastic. Our camp headquarters along the shoreline at Creek Farm in Portsmouth is pretty spectacular. I love being there, and I love what I do.” LEARN MORE https://www.gundalow.org/jess-ohrenberger/
