April’s Speaker
Randy Newman, Superintendent, Fort Macon State Park
This month, we are welcoming Randy Newman from North Carolina State Parks. Randy serves as the superintendent of Fort Macon State Park, where he has worked for over 40 years, beginning as a seasonal ranger and later becoming superintendent in 2009. Originally from Aurora, North Carolina, he studied Resource Management at East Carolina University. Fort Macon has long been home to Randy and his family, where he and his wife, Nicki, raised their four sons in and around the park.
Randy will speak on the park’s efforts to preserve and restore the historic Fort Macon and the management of its unique coastal habitats and wildlife. He’ll share insights from his decades of experience at Fort Macon, including his work to maintain the historic site and protect the diverse flora and fauna found within the park.
Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how State Parks contribute to coastal conservation and learn ways to support and engage with these important public lands, while also hearing personal perspectives from a lifelong steward of one of North Carolina’s most valued coastal resources.
