Two new regional directors have joined the Ruffed Grouse Society field staff.
O. Boyd Cooke is now Northeast RGS regional director and Dave Hansroth has assumed the duties of RGS regional director for eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and northern Virginia.
A retired naval commander, Cooke lives in Stonington, Connecticut, and oversees regional activities in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, a portion of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Cooke is an avid grouse hunter and is active in the Southern New England Chapter of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association. Among his RGS responsibilities will be broadening relationships with state natural resource agencies and other conservation-minded groups and working with regional chapters on fundraising activities and habitat restoration projects.
Hansroth holds a BS in wildlife management from West Virginia University and an MA in environmental biology from Hood College. A resident of Gaithersburg, Maryland, he is a community activist and a longtime RGS volunteer. He is a seven-term past president of the Maryland RGS Chapter.
Hansroth is approaching his new assignment with RGS from the experience of an association of many years with the conservation organization. "As a chapter president, I understand the satisfactions and frustrations that come in obtaining the goals a chapter hopes to achieve," Hansroth said. "My plan is to capitalize on that knowledge by increasing communications between the chapters so they can share their own experiences with each other."
