Peter Hujik

Executive Director

Peter Hujik joined VCC in 2024 to serve as the Executive Director.  After leading farmland protection efforts on the other side of the Blue Ridge in the Piedmont, Peter is excited to join the cutting-edge conservation efforts ongoing throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Peter is passionate about landscape-scale conservation, ecological restoration and community development.   

Previously, Peter led the land protection efforts in the Susquehanna Basin with Otsego Land Trust in Upstate New York. Peter began his conservation career with The Nature Conservancy in the Lassen Foothills of northern California, where he restored streamside forests and managed native grasslands with prescribed fire.

Peter developed his love for the land in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, where he spent his summers.  When not in the office, you can find Peter exploring the Valley with his wife and kids, restoring old houses, working out, and getting outdoors.
