Conservation Law Center names Kacey Cook as the Constance and Terry Marbach Conservation Attorney

The Conservation Law Center is excited to announce Kacey Cook as the inaugural Constance and Terry Marbach Conservation Attorney.

The Marbach Conservation Attorney will focus primarily on land conservation and habitat protection projects. This position will be responsible for fostering existing relationships with land trusts and other clients as well as developing new relationships and projects for CLC.

For Kacey, growing up in the woods and on the lakes of Northern Michigan fostered a deep appreciation for the Midwest’s natural resources. Her time working as a student in the Conservation Law Clinic at Indiana University Maurer School of Law affirmed her interest in pursuing a career in environmental law.

While at Maurer, Kacey gained additional experience working on environmental issues and initiatives through internships with the Mexican Center for Environmental Law and the Environmental Law Institute.

Most recently, she worked as the Policy Specialist and Staff Attorney at Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council in Northern Michigan, where she collaborated with local governments, property owners, and community members to preserve the area’s abundant freshwater resources.

Kacey is excited to contribute to the conservation of important natural areas in support of wildlife habitat, water quality and biological diversity in Indiana and beyond.

Kacey is a member of the Michigan Bar Association and will be sitting for the Indiana Bar.

In her free time, she enjoys kayaking, hiking, and exploring new places.

Welcome Kacey to the CLC team!
