Linda Whitlow

Prior to moving to Blanco, Linda worked at the Midland Independent School District for 25 years. She has a B.A. in Physical Education and Health, and a master's degree in School Counseling.

After moving to Blanco Linda began volunteering for a variety of organizations. She completed the Texas Master Naturalist Program whose “mission is to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities for the State of Texas.” Certification as a Master Naturalist involves many hours of instruction in both the classroom and the field. Linda volunteered at various State Parks to acquire the hours required to stay active as a Master Naturalist, although inactive now, she still volunteers at Guadalupe State Park assisting with Archery.

Linda is a past board member of the Blanco Fire & EMS and Gem of the Hills. Currently, she is a Blanco County Friends of the Night Board Member. Her love of camping and nature drew her to this organization. Seeing the stars at night above beautiful Big Bend National Park made her realize that we are slowly losing that beauty here in Blanco County and she wants to help make a difference. Linda also enjoys playing golf and walking to stay active.
