Barbara Bramble has lived in Blue Hill for the past 6 years, and before that, in Washington, DC. She has recently retired from the National Wildlife Federation where she served as VP for International Conservation and Corporate Strategies. For many years she focused on climate change, the plight of tropical forests in South America and West Africa and environmental reforms of financial institutions. She is a past Chair of the Board of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the global eco-label for wood and paper products from sustainably managed forests.

An Environmental lawyer, she is skilled at difficult negotiations and knows non-profit law.  She speaks Spanish and Portuguese.  She jumped in to Blue Hill life with both feet, discovering new hiking trails, attending long Town Meetings, and keeping up with local politics.  An avid reader, she supports the BHPL as a Four Seasons giver.

She serves on Executive, Finance and Personnel committees.
