Cassidy Tawse-Garcia is a Colorado girl. She grew up in Boulder and attended the University of Colorado, attaining a bachlor’s degree in political science and journalism. After graduation, Cassidy moved to Crested Butte to spend a winter doing what she loves most, skiing. She fell in love with the beauty of the Gunnison Valley and spent the next two years of her life making Crested Butte her home.
Cassidy sought a volunteer position with the Crested Butte Land Trust because she “wanted to give back to the community that I call home. What better way to do this than working for an organization that protects the open space and lands, which we all use and appreciate so much.”
“{The Crested Butte Land Trust} works tirelessly to insure that our outdoor playground remains pristine, and available for use by locals and visitors alike.” Cassidy said. She expressed this support of the organization while soliciting donations for the silent and live auction for the 2012 Celebration of Conservation. Her dedication to the auction assisted in the success of the first annual summer event.
Ever the outdoor enthusiast, Cassidy appreciated the effort the Land Trust puts into maintaining trails in the valley. “Whether I am mountain biking on the lower loop, hiking above the Gothic town site, or cross-country skiing along Trappers Crossing, I am using lands the Land Trust has worked to preserve and protect. I am proud to offer my time to ensure this important work can continue.”
Cassidy has since left her Colorado roots to pursue an opportunity as a food editorial intern at EatingWell magazine in Vermont. Her positive attitude and infectious smile will be missed in the Land Trust office.
