The Kreher Presreve & Nature Center is an outreach extension administered by the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment, which is lead by Dean Janaki Alavalapati.
The KPNC also receives leadership support from a volunteer-based advisory board representing a wide range of our community partners and supporters. This fantastic team helps tremendously with the vitality and fiscal sustainability of the KPNC as well as providing critical support for our operation. If you think you may be interested in serving the KPNC on the Advisory Board, please contact the current president, Debbie Brooks.
