There was an important passing of the torch over the past year in the Mid-Shore conservation community. Jamie Peirson, who spends most of his time as a professor at Horn Point Laboratories in Dorchester County, has become the new president of the local Izaak Walton League.
Jamie said yes to this volunteer leadership position for several reasons. Independent of his research work, his passion for the natural world and outdoor recreation reflects a lifetime of engagement with nature. But Jamie has also been drawn to the Izaak Walton League’s long-standing role in lobbying for ecosystem protection. Given all these factors, he had no hesitation in taking over from the long-tenured former president Calvin Yowell, with the intended mission of growing the local chapter with families and younger outdoor enthusiasts.
Jamie stopped by the Spy Studio a few weeks ago to discuss his new role.

The Izaak Walton League is so fortuitous have the leadership of Jamie Pierson. He is a scientist an environmental at Horn Point. He is invested in inviting community connection to our watershed through the activities of the League. It is not because he has free time to do this but because he cares so deeply about the future our children, including his own sons, will inherit. If you don’t know much about the League, don’t miss the opportunity to learn more.
