Kansas Wildscape Foundation Names Development Director
The following is from the Kansas Wildscape Foundation:
Kansas Wildscape Foundation, a nonprofit corporation dedicated to creating and enhancing outdoor opportunities in Kansas, recently named Lynn Gentine as director of development. Gentine will work to advance both development and outreach goals for the foundation. In addition, Gentine will be responsible for operations of Wildscape’s O.K. Kids Program and WildLifer Challenge.
A native from Little River, Kan., Gentine brings grant writing and project management experience from Topeka, Kan., Las Vegas, Nev., and the Detroit-Metro areas. As a former employee of the U.S. Forest Service, Lynn worked within the cultural resource management division in Montana, providing project assessments and impact statements. Gentine has a B.A. in anthropology from the University of Kansas.
“I am very excited to have Lynn working with Wildscape as we seek to not only strengthen and grow our existing youth programs, but also develop other aspects of our organization that will enable us to make an even greater impact throughout Kansas,” said Charlie Black, executive director. “Wildscape must continue to grow to be effective, and with Lynn's experience, we are heading in the right direction."
Kansas Wildscape Foundation was founded in 1991, in coordination with the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks, to identify projects involving all aspects of outdoor recreation and education in Kansas and to fund those projects, in whole or in part, with tax-deductible donations. The foundation was instrumental in funding the $5 million restoration of 2,300 acres of wetlands at Milford Lake and is currently raising money to build 150 rental cabins at state parks throughout Kansas, 61 of which are already in use.
The Wildscape’s Outdoor Kansas for Kids Program (O.K. Kids) has assisted nearly 50 sites statewide and involved over 12,000 children and families in outdoor recreational activities each year. The WildLifer Challenge, www.kansaswildlifer.com, was created in 2010 and currently has over 500 youth enrolled in the fun and simple online program that leads participants to complete outdoor challenges.
