Moragh B. Lippert
Executive Director, rare

A lover of the outdoors, an avid volunteer and a committed environmentalist, Moragh Lippert thinks she has just found the perfect job for the next stage of her career. Certainly her Prius seems at home in the rare parking lot.

In 1998, after many years in banking, including a time as Branch Manager, Moragh assumed the position of Manager for Central Ontario of the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation where she evaluated and adjudicated environmental projects based on the Foundation’s mandate of environmental education, naturalization and habitat restoration. “I’m amazed at the resourcefulness and dedication of so many people who are determined to reserve, restore and reconcile the environment around our ever-growing urban areas. I believe the research focus at rare will reveal ‘best practices’ so that we actually strengthen our connection with the natural world and heal the land as we improve the quality of life for everyone. I’m very excited to continue my dedication to this effort by taking on the leadership of this new and exciting project, here in our own community.”

A graduate of Wilfrid Laurier and the University of Guelph, Moragh has also held positions as the President of Guelph Junior Achievement, served on the Board of Directors and as Volunteer Coordinator of the Bruce Trail Association, and as Core Group Member of the Ignatius Farm Certified Organic CSA.
