The Thousand Islands Land Trust Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the addition of two new members, Campbell Marshall and Jennifer Caddick.

 

Campbell Marshall

Campbell Marshall joined the Board in the fall of 2021. He is a sixth generation River Rat. His great grandfather, Hiram Marshall, ran the general store on Grindstone Island in the late 1800s. Campbell learned to fish and drive a boat in his grandmother's Lyman in Clayton, and sometimes in the winter, ice fished and snowmobiled with his Uncle Sonny on French Creek Bay. The River has run through his veins since he was a boy. 

Campbell grew up in Lake Forest, Illinois, attended Duke University, and later pursued dual master's degrees from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and Lauder Institute. He spent over a decade working for the federal government at The White House, State Department, and as a counterterrorism field operations officer. He then worked for the Xerion Fund at Perella Weinberg Partners in New York, before returning to Washington, DC, where he joined the executive team at Omnispace, LLC, building the world's first 5G hybrid satellite/terrestrial mobile connectivity system. 

During the tumult of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Campbell and his husband, Kieren Emery, found themselves drawn back to the peace of the River on Bluff Island, where they now spend as much time as they can with their dog, Canace. They both hope that this extraordinary and unique place will be conserved for generations to come. 

 

 

Jennifer Caddick

Jennifer Caddick joined the Board in the spring of 2022. Jennifer's first visit to the Thousand Islands was on a family vacation, when at the age of ten, she was immediately smitten with the River.

Years of many visits to the Thousand Islands and local lakes solidified her passion and her time on, in, and beside the River led to a career in environmental protection and advocacy. 

Throughout her twenty-plus year career in the environmental field, Jennifer has led numerous public relations and communications campaigns on issues impacting the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, including stopping invasive carp, preventing plastic pollution--and many more. From 2006-2012, Jennifer served as Executive Director of Save The River and led the organization through a period of growth and expansion. She currently leads public relations and marketing for the Alliance for the Great Lakes, a regional advocacy organization. Prior to her work on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, Jennifer spent six years in the Chesapeake Bay region leading communications and marketing campaigns supporting a variety of environmental restoration efforts.

Jennifer splits her time between her home in Clayton and her family's cottage on Linda Island on the US side of the River. "I've long admired TILT and its work to protect the region's most ecologically important places. It's an honor to have the opportunity to support the organization's conservation mission as a Trustee," says Jennifer.
