The Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History in Jamestown has a new leader.
The board of directors announced this week that they selected Dr. Anton Twan Leenders to serve as the 5th president and CEO of the Institute.
Leenders is currently at the Connecticut Audubon Society.
Leenders tells WBFO & AM-970 his current work has concentrated on the conservation of birds and their habitats in Connecticut, but he is now ready to assist to help preserve habitat in the Southern Tier region.
