I am thrilled to introduce myself as Wayland's first Sustainability Manager. My name is Abigail Shute and my mission is to implement the Town's Climate Action Mobilization Plan (CAMP), a resident-driven initiative endorsed by the Select Board in 2021. Guided by the CAMP, my key focus areas include: Lowering Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Transitioning to Clean Energy, Aadapting to a Changing Climate, and Reducing Waste. To achieve these goals I am actively managing projects, securing funding, and fostering community engagement. 

Drawing upon my background in Facilities Management, Conservation, and Non-Profit work, complemented by a Master's Degree in Sustainable Development and Climate Change, I bring a unique skill set to drive our town toward a sustainable future. 

I am extremely excited to be part of such an enthusiastic and dedicated community. Together, we can make Wayland a model of sustainability, resilience, and community driven change.
