Joseph W. Fehrer, Jr.
A longtime resident of Snow Hill, Joe’s involvement with The Nature Conservancy started in 1978 with the inception of the Nassawango Creek Preserve; he was an active volunteer with the Stewardship Committee, serving as its Chairman from 2001 through 2006. His profession until that time, in 2006, had been in the
field of historical woodworking and restoration and he maintained a successful business for 25 years working throughout the lower shores of Maryland and Virginia.
Joe now works for the MD/DC Chapter of The Nature Conservancy as the Coastal and Lower Shore Project Manager, with his office located at Furnace Town Heritage Museum. The Coastal and Lower Shore Project Manager furthers the Conservancy’s strategic goals on the Lower Eastern Shore and along Maryland’s coast, including the coastal bays. Joe works with Land Management staff as needed in biological monitoring, invasive species management, easement compliance monitoring, and conservation planning, as well as working with Land Protection staff and partners to advance strategies such as land acquisition, easements and restoration. The Project Manager also works with conservation staff and the Mid-Atlantic Seascape Team (MAST) to further the goals and objectives of the Mid-Atlantic Seascape in the area of coastal conservation and restoration. The Project Manager supports the activities of the Chesapeake Bay Integrated Landscape group on the lower Eastern Shore of MD and VA dealing with water quality, oyster restoration and aquaculture, and land protection.
