New NOLT Board Member

Friends of the Fields’ former volunteer chairperson, Charlotte L. Frazier, is the newest addition to North Olympic Land Trust’s Board of Directors. After the merger of the two nonprofit organizations earlier this year, Frazier’s election brings the total to eight of new Board members from what is now the Land Trust’s Friends of the Fields Division.

Frazier said her interest in the organization goes beyond making sure land always is available for farming. “Land is precious and it should not all be covered with tarmac, cement and buildings,” she said. “It must be preserved not only for agriculture but for the air we breathe, animals, open spaces and other priorities.”

Frazier knows first hand what it is to lack enough food. During the second world war, when she and her parents were interned by the Japanese in the Philippines, she said they, as well as those holding them captive, never had enough to eat. One of her most dramatic memories is the way her 6-foot 2-inch-tall father looked at only 98 pounds at the time of the family’s release.

She moved to Sequim in 2002 after years of teaching in Oregon and Washington and raising Arabian horses on an acreage in the Redmond, Washington, area. She teaches balance and fitness classes through Peninsula College in addition to volunteer activities and other interests that include Kiwanis, theater, gardening and Sequim Prairie Garden Club, Sequim Senior Singles, traveling, photography and meeting new people.

The new Board member currently is using her experience as a volunteer coordinator to assist in recruiting people to help with the Land Trust’s 11th annual StreamFest. She said she’ll find opportunities for those providing phone numbers to the NOLT office, 360-417-1815.
