Leslie Morlock will be the new superintendent of Saratoga National Historical Park in Stillwater. <\/span><\/p>\n

Morlock begins her job on March 28.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe victory at Saratoga changed the entire course of the American Revolution,\u201d National Park Service Regional Director Gay Vietzke said. \u201cThe park has an important role to play as we get closer to America\u2019s 250th birthday in 2026. Leslie\u2019s background in planning, visitor use management and partnerships provides a crucial skill set needed to lead the park as we approach this milestone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored and excited for the opportunity to serve as superintendent at this pivotal site in the history of the United States,\u201d Morlock said. \u201cSaratoga National Historical Park is a unique place to learn about a key turning point in American history, explore nature and honor those who walked the hallowed grounds before us. I look forward to working with the dedicated park team, the Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor, other partners, and the community to preserve this important site for future generations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Morlock comes to Saratoga from Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where she served for eight years as chief of strategic planning and project management. During this time, she oversaw a variety of programs, including safety, lands, leasing, project management and environmental compliance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Morlock spearheaded the planning effort for the park\u2019s newly released Visitor Use Management Plan. Prior to joining the National Park Service, Morlock worked for county governments in Colorado, Pennsylvania and New York and as an archeologist in the private and public sectors. <\/span><\/p>\n

She started her career at Hawai\u2019s Volcanoes National Park. Morlock holds a Bachelor of Arts in anthropology and environmental studies from Grinnell College and a professional graduate certificate in Leadership for Public Lands and Cultural Heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Morlock is originally from southeastern Minnesota and has been living in the Pennsylvania-New York region for the last 19 years.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
