Meet Patrick McCarthy, our new Ag Resource Conservationist! Pat took over Kendra Craig's former position after she transitioned to the DGLVR/Watershed Specialist position with the district. Born and raised in Columbia County, Pat graduated from Bloomsburg High School in 2015. After graduation, he went on to study at Delaware Valley University and majored in Environmental Science: Soils and Land Use. During his college years, Pat spent two summers as an intern with the Montour County Conservation District as well as an engineering consulting firm in Bucks County. In his free time, you can find Pat fishing, hiking, and playing soccer. “I’m excited to begin this new position with the Columbia County Conservation District! I’m looking forward to using my past experiences and learning from my new coworkers to work alongside our farmers to improve the environmental health of our county.”
