Elizabeth Haber has been named to the newly created role of stewardship coordinator at the Lake Leelanau Lake Association.
Haber joins LLLA after working as the Aquatic Invasive Species Field Technician and Data Manager this past summer, helping the field crew monitor and control Eurasian watermilfoil (EWM). She holds a Master’s of Science in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of Michigan and has performed field work and research widely throughout the Midwest as well as the Caribbean, Netherlands, and Madagascar for nearly two decades.
Although Haber’s research and work has taken her to some spectacular places around the world, including documenting plant species in Madagascar and researching impacts of invasive plants on two tiny Caribbean islands, the Great Lakes region has always been her anchor. She spent three years with the Wisconsin DNR working with aquatic and wetland plants and policy and 2 1/2years with Michigan State University Extension as a botanist for the Michigan Natural Features Inventory.
