Under this new plan, Gloucester resident Ken Sterner, forester for Middlesex, is now also responsible for Mathews, Gloucester and York counties, as well as the cities of Newport News and Hampton.
Sterner, 36, is a 2006 forestry graduate from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. He has been the forester for Middlesex and lower King and Queen County since 2008. Prior to that, he worked in North Carolina for a timber procurement firm.
Sterner will move his primary location from Middlesex to Gloucester in the coming months so that he will be more centrally-located. Area forester Jeff Darr and forestry technician Nelson Jarvis will also remain in the Gloucester office.
