Emma Isaacson was named to the position by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn on Friday, writes Max Bennett for Patch.
Isaacson assists with oversight of the park complex, which offers hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and wildlife watching.
“I am falling in love with this area and enjoy seeing how important these parks are to visitors,” Isaacson said. “I am eager to continue connecting with the community and learning from the local groups and volunteers that help make these natural spaces special.”
Dunn said Isaacson’s commitment and people skills will be an asset to the Ridley Creek Complex and the surrounding community.
