Lisa Deavers, Lexington, KY State Advocate
Having worked with community parks and KY State Parks, one of my goals is to educate as many people as possible on how to minimize impacts on our natural resources. Also, through the partnerships I have developed with other agencies across the state, I hope to expand that partnership to include promoting LNT within their organizations. I am on the board of the Kentucky Recreation Park Society (KRPS) and have been promoting LNT through their annual conferences as well as through weekly programming and special events here at Barren River Lake State Park. I am proud to serve as State Advocate and want everyone to know I am here to assist you in spreading the message about Leave No Trace.
