                                                Picture

                                                Jim lives in Berea Kentucky with his partner Tina Marie Johnson, his two kids, Chris and Zaida, and two step-kids, Percy and Sylvia. Jim has an M.A. in Environmental Science and B.S. in Biology, has taught college Biology, and worked off and on as a landscaper for more than 15 years. He currently serves on the Council of Heartwood, a regionally-based forest protection organization and sustainability-oriented community.

                                                Prior to moving to Berea, Jim was a forest protection activist with Missouri Forest Alliance (formerly Missouri Heartwood), and helped start the online resource GrassrootsOzark.net.

                                                Tina joined Kentucky Heartwood in the role of Coordinator in April 2010, after serving on the council for four years. She lives in Berea with her partner, Jim Scheff and their children. She is an avid gardener, loves cooking and being outdoors. 

                                                Tina worked for eight years with the Mountain Association for Community Economic Development (MACED) before coming to Kentucky Heartwood. At MACED she served as program associate for their forestry program, working to help private forest landowners in Kentucky increase sustainable forest management practices. Her work contributed to the development of the Forest Opportunities Initiative and Appalachian Carbon Partnership, as well as the distribution of over 3000 copies of the Kentucky Forest Landowner's Handbook, an incredible resource, offered free of charge to private forestland owners in Kentucky who are interested in becoming better stewards of their land.
