CEBE Core Volunteers
Pam Edwards, Board President
Pam is a homesteader living off the grid who wants to live more sustainably (lowering her carbon footprint, eating locally and seasonally and being good to planet Earth), spend more time with people who share similar values, and work on projects that implement those values. Pam grew up in Casco and graduated with a BA in Mathematics from UMaine Orono. After working for IBM in Portland and Boston for 18 years she got a degree in Plant & Soil Technology and worked in a plant nursery for three years. She has been the chair and chief editor of the Casco Comprehensive Plan, a volunteer at the Casco Public Library, a member of the Open Space Committee, is proficient in GIS mapping, and has volunteered with Loon Echo Land Trust for over eight years.
Scott Vlaun, Executive Director
As a permaculturist and father, Scott sees a profound need for change in the way we do business, and to rapidly relocalize our economy so that the next generations will have a chance for a high quality life. Climate change, peak oil, and economic instability threaten the future of our youth and the health of our planet. For those reasons he is committed to working for resilient local food systems, community-based renewable energy, public and human-powered transport, and affordable green housing.
Seal Rossignol, Programming
Seal holds a Master’s Degree in Education and a Certificate in Outdoor Leadership. She is committed to connecting with members of her community to problem solve issues stemming from climate change and reduced oil access so that her community can become more resilient in the face of resource depletion. She brings a wealth of experience with curriculum design and is tackling grant writing to help fund the CEBE mission. Seal is an avid nature lover and adventurer.
Zizi Vlaun, Communications
Zizi began working for the organic seed movement in the mid 90s. After leaving Taos, New Mexico, she moved to NYC to work for a big old design firm and realized that this was not a path that was feeding her. With Scott they moved to Maine and decided to grow some roots. Zizi and Scott started Moose Pond Arts+Ecology and continued their work with Seeds of Change. They quickly realized there was plenty of good work to be done locally and began working with non-profits and organizations in the area.
