Art Thatcher Email & Phone Number

I am a Manager with BerryDunn, a lecturer with GP RED, and a CPRP with 40 years of experience in public parks and recreation operations, programming and administration, volunteer board leadership, facility design and operations, and community engagement. In 10 years, consulting with BerryDunn and GreenPlay, I have worked with over 120 communities across the country completing master plans, needs assessments, economic impact studies, outdoor recreation assessments, sustainability studies, and organizational assessments. I have become known as a national expert in working with adventure-based communities, including those that manage beaches and waterfronts as part of their parks and recreation systems, and communities that rely on outdoor and adventure recreation as economic drivers. I am a well-known speaker at the local, state, and national level.
