“As Chairperson of the volunteer Berks County Conservation District Board of Directors, I encourage landowners, farmers, developers, watershed association members, local government partners and others to contact Dean and the Board, identifying your soil and water concerns and assist us in formulating solutions to protect Berks County’s natural resources,” said Piper Sherborne, Chair of the District Board.

Dean was born and raised in the Reading area of Berks County and is currently a resident of South Heidelberg Township in Wernersville.
