Kim Hassan

Kim Hassan was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. During her youth, she spent many summers on her grandparents’ farm in rural Alabama, where she learned to fish, garden, and skip rocks on the pond. Kim has always been fascinated by the natural world and has endeavored to visit as many national, state, and local parks and forests as possible. Her most memorable experience being a 5 ½ hour mule ride to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, an overnight at the Phantom Ranch, followed by a 4 ½ hour ride back to the top of the Grand Canyon. Kim has developed a lasting love of nature and believes in the importance of taking time to appreciate our natural surroundings.

“It is an honor and a privilege to be part of an organization that deeply cares about preserving park lands and introducing the next generation to the wonders and beauty that can be found in parks.”
