We would like to formally welcome Anne-Marie Hasstedt and Toby Levy to DLC’s Board of Directors! We look forward to seeing the impact they’ll make on our organization, local conservation, and the community. Read their bios below to learn more about them!
Anne-Marie
Anne-Marie has lived on the Palmer Divide for over 12 years cherishing the scenic views, wildlife, and many outdoor recreation opportunities. She has always found comfort and peace in nature to include hiking, skiing, camping, and fishing. She is a retired Air Force civil environmental engineer and officer and also spent time working in information technology. She has always enjoyed volunteering with non-profit organizations and served as a Girl Scout leader for 12 years. With a BS in Civil Engineering from Cornell University and a MS in Environmental Studies from the College of Charleston, she is excited to use her experience to help conserve our precious open spaces protecting habitats and biodiversity as well as enhancing climate resilience. She married into a family of multi-generational Coloradan landowners and is thrilled to work with DLC to safeguard the working stewardship of agricultural lands and the cultural heritage of the Western way of life. She joined the DLC board in 2025.
Toby
Toby was born and raised in Topeka, Kansas. After living in California and then Missouri, she made her way back to Kansas and raised her children in Andover, a suburb of Wichita. Toby loves spending time with family, so she goes back to Kansas frequently to visit her kids and grandkids. Although currently retired, her work background is in accounting, IT and project/office management. In Kansas she was active in a variety of civic and cultural organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sedgwick County, CASA of Sedgwick County, Andover Public Library Friends and Wichita Choral Society.
Toby loves being outdoors and grew up visiting Colorado frequently to hike and camp. She moved to Parker with her husband David in 2017. She immediately began volunteering for Douglas County Open Space Trail Crew and SECOR Food Bank in Parker. During the pandemic years, she co-founded and ran a non-profit food bank in Aurora. Living in Colorado has given her the opportunity to participate in two of her passions – giving back to the community through volunteerism and love for outdoors Colorado. She still volunteers with DCOS Trail Crew, DLC Bluebird Monitors and Douglas County Conservation District. Toby also served on the Douglas County Open Space Initiative Board and is currently serving her second term as Secretary of the Parks Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Commission in the town of Parker. She loves to be able to give back to her community by promoting and preserving the beautiful open spaces in our Colorful Colorado Central Front Range. Assisting DLC staff with easement monitoring visits gave her a greater appreciation for the Douglas Land Conservancy mission and vision. She joined the DLC Board in 2025.
